Sale on September 11, 2025 triggers DTST warrant repurchase

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Data Storage Corporation repurchased certain July 2021 warrants following a fundamental transaction. The company paid $2,049,388 to holders to buy back July 2021 Warrants that were exercisable for an aggregate of 858,750 shares of common stock.

The repurchase right was triggered by the consummation of the company’s sale of its cloud solutions business on September 11, 2025, and the window for holders to request repurchase expired on October 13, 2025. This action removes those specific warrants that could have been exercised for additional shares and results in a cash outflow equal to the stated repurchase amount.

Corporate actions analyst

Cash outflow to retire warrants tied to a prior sale; neutral impact.

Data Storage Corporation paid $2,049,388 to repurchase July 2021 Warrants that were exercisable for an aggregate of 858,750 common shares. The right arose under a fundamental transaction provision triggered by the sale of the cloud solutions business on September 11, 2025.

This eliminates those specific warrants and the associated potential share issuance, while creating an immediate cash outflow equal to the repurchase amount. The request period for holders ended on October 13, 2025.

Without baseline size metrics, portfolio concentration, or liquidity details in the excerpt, the net effect is best viewed as administrative and neutral; actual impact depends on prior warrant terms and capitalization context.
