This amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) relates to the Schedule 13D filed on January 17, 2019 (as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 4, the “Schedule 13D”) by (a) CT Opportunity Partners I LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (b) CT Opportunity Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (c) Driver Management Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (d) J. Abbott R. Cooper, citizen of the United States of America, and (e) John B. Thompson II, a citizen of the United States of America, relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of DNB Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“DNB” or the “Issuer”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 4, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
On March 12, 2019, the Reporting Persons submitted a demand (the “Books and Records Demand”) to inspect the books and records of the Issuer made pursuant to Section 1508 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. As stated in the Books and Records Demand, the purpose of making such demand was to allow the Reporting Persons to investigate:
| 1. | Whether DNBF was in fact obligated to make the $433,519.35 payment made to Mr. Liuzzi (the “Liuzzi Payment”) pursuant to the Liuzzi Separation Agreement, which payment was characterized as a “Change of Control Payment” made pursuant to the Liuzzi Change of Control Agreement”; |
|
|
|
| 2. | Whether the DNBF board of directors acted with due care and loyalty in connection with the Liuzzi Payment; |
|
|
|
| 3. | Whether the determination to characterize the Liuzzi Payment as a “Change of Control Payment” was made in order to intentionally mislead DNBF shareholders or was instead the result of a lack of due care; |
|
|
|
| 4. | Whether DNBF should take affirmative steps to correct any misleading disclosures relating to the Liuzzi Payment; |
|
|
|
| 5. | Whether the DNBF board of directors was regularly apprised as to the prices that DNBF might be able to obtain in a sale or similar transaction, particularly relative to the prices at which DNBF common stock might trade at in the future and whether any related analyses were reasonably prepared using the best available estimates of DNBF’s future performance and took into account the risks and uncertainties of achieving those estimates; and |
|
|
|
| 6. | Whether, in hiring investment bankers in connection with a potential sale transaction, the DNBF board of directors is exercising proper due care in selecting qualified advisors with relevant expertise involving publicly traded corporations of similar size to DNBF |
On March 18, 2019, Gerald Sopp, the Issuer’s corporate secretary, sent a letter to counsel to the Reporting Persons notifying the Reporting Persons that the Issuer did not intend to comply with the Books and Records Demand.
On April 9, 2019, The Reporting Persons sent a letter (the “April 9 Letter”) to James Thornton, chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors regarding the Issuer’s refusal to comply with the Books and Records Demand. The April 9 Letter is attached herto as Exhibit 99.7 and incorporated herein by reference.
