Insights
TL;DR: Major investor group holds ~7–8% of DDI, a meaningful stake that could influence liquidity or signal confidence.
BRFI's direct ownership of 3,606,568 ADS (180,328.4 common shares, 7.3%) and Bryant Riley's aggregate 3,861,068 ADS (193,053.4 common shares, 7.8%) represent a notable minority position in DDI given the 2,477,672-share outstanding base cited. Shared voting and dispositive power is disclosed for 180,328.4 shares, indicating centralized control of the subsidiary-held block. The certification that holdings are not intended to change control suggests passive or investment-oriented purposes. For investors, this level of ownership is material but not controlling; it may affect trading dynamics and governance voting outcomes if coordinated with other holders.
TL;DR: Reported holdings exceed 5% disclosure threshold; no indication of control change or group formation.
The Schedule 13G/A reports ownership classification consistent with passive disclosure thresholds. BRFI is identified as a parent of BRFI Investments, LLC, and BRFI Investments holds the reported ADS block. The filing notes BRFI as parent and BRFI Investments as subsidiary, and Item 10 certifies no intent to influence control. The split between sole and shared voting/dispositive power shows personal and subsidiary holdings aggregated by Bryant Riley. This is a routine, material disclosure for governance transparency without reported activism or control intent.
