24 Mar 2023asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor

Dawson bought substantially all of Breckenridge Geophysical's seismic data acquisition assets (excluding its multi-client data library) from Wilks Brothers, the controlling shareholder (about 74.46% of votes), paying with 1,188,235 new shares (about 4.99% of the stock) and a $9,880,000.50 convertible note. The note, payable on or after June 30, 2024, converts into 5,811,765 shares at $1.70 once shareholders approve it under NASDAQ rules, so it would dilute other holders. A special committee of independent directors approved the deal, with a fairness opinion from Houlihan Lokey, and there is a post-closing cash adjustment. Dawson also cut its Dominion Bank revolver to $5,000,000 from $10,000,000 and got a waiver for covenants (including tangible net worth) affected by the deal; nothing was borrowed as of March 24, 2023. Wilks remains in control, so the earlier merger did not leave Dawson fully taken over (inference: the second-step merger was not completed, as the company still has public shareholders and a NASDAQ listing).

4 Oct 2022debt financing● Neutral

On Sept 30, 2022 Dawson extended its Dominion Bank revolving credit line by one year to Sept 30, 2023 and cut the maximum from $15,000,000 to $10,000,000. The minimum tangible net worth requirement was lowered from $55,000,000 to $38,000,000 and a new $5,000,000 minimum liquid assets requirement was added; nothing was borrowed as of Sept 30, 2022. This resolves the open question of whether the facility expiring Sept 30, 2022 would be extended. The filing also states a changed interest rate but gives no figure, and the filing does not mention the second-step merger.
