Insights

Deal closed by tender offer and 251(h) short-form merger.

The filing confirms the tender offer expired March 31, 2026 with 53,738,558 shares tendered (approximately 79.88%), triggering the Minimum Tender Condition. A Certificate of Merger filed April 1, 2026 effected the merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, permitting a short-form merger after sufficient tender.

Key legal considerations include appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and the treatment of treasury and exempt shares; parties and counsel should track any outstanding appraisal demands and delisting mechanics in subsequent filings.

Transaction delivers fixed cash consideration of $17.00 per share and removes public float.

The Offer provided $17.00 per Share in cash (net, without interest, subject to tax withholding). With ~79.88% tendered and acceptance completed, remaining non-tendered shares either converted in the merger or are subject to appraisal if demanded under Delaware law.

Financial stakeholders should note the forthcoming delisting and that the offer and merger mechanics determined cash flow to tendering holders; subsequent disclosures may report final cash payments and any appraisal outcomes.

Merger Consideration financial
"converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest"
Merger consideration is the total payment a company or buyer offers to shareholders of a target company in exchange for combining the two businesses, and can include cash, shares in the surviving company, debt assumption, or a mix of these. Investors care because the form and amount affect the deal’s value, tax consequences, immediate cash received versus future ownership, and the risk and upside of holding new shares — similar to choosing between cash now or stock that could grow later.

This Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2026 (as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”), with respect to the cash tender offer (the “Offer”) made by Huron MergeCo., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Saltchuk Resources, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Parent”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (“GLDD”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 10, 2026, by and among Parent, Purchaser, and GLDD (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), for $17.00 per Share, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest, subject to any required tax withholdings (such consideration as it may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 4, 2026 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged. This Amendment is being filed to reflect certain updates as reflected below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Offer to Purchase or the Schedule TO, as applicable. You should read this Amendment together with the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 11.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following three paragraphs:

“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired one minute past 11:59 p.m. New York City time on March 31, 2026 (the “Expiration Time”). Based on the final information provided by the Depositary and Paying Agent as of the Expiration Time, 53,738,558 Shares were validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 79.88% of all outstanding Shares. As a result, the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied. As the Minimum Tender Condition and each of the other Offer Conditions have been satisfied, Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Pursuant to a Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 1, 2026, Purchaser was merged with and into GLDD through a merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with GLDD surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. In the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Shares (i) held by GLDD in treasury or owned of record by GLDD or any subsidiary of GLDD and Shares owned of record by Parent, Purchaser (including Shares irrevocably accepted for payment by Purchaser in the Offer) or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (in each case, other than those held on behalf of any third party), which shall be canceled and cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto and (ii) held by any GLDD Stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal rights of such Shares in all respects under, and who comply with, Section 262 of the DGCL and have not validly revoked such demand, was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, and subject to any required tax withholdings. All Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration ceased to be outstanding and were automatically cancelled and ceased to exist. Following the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and cease to be traded on Nasdaq.

On April 1, 2026, GLDD and Parent issued a joint press release announcing the successful completion of the Offer and the Merger. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(iv) and is incorporated herein by reference.”

FAQ

What did GLDD shareholders receive in the Saltchuk tender offer for GLDD (GLDD)?

Shareholders received $17.00 per share in cash for each share validly tendered and accepted. The cash payment is net to sellers, without interest and subject to any required tax withholdings, per the Merger Agreement and Offer to Purchase.

How many GLDD shares were tendered in the offer and what percent of outstanding shares did that represent?

The Depositary reported 53,738,558 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn. That number represents approximately 79.88% of all outstanding GLDD shares as of the Offer's March 31, 2026 expiration.

Will GLDD shares continue trading on Nasdaq after the merger?

No. Following the Merger, the filing states GLDD shares will be delisted and will cease to be traded on Nasdaq. The conversion of tendered shares into the Merger Consideration terminated public trading of those shares.

What happens to shares held in treasury, by the purchaser or by stockholders who demand appraisal?

Shares held by GLDD in treasury or owned by Parent, Purchaser or their subsidiaries will be canceled with no payment. Shares of stockholders who properly demand appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL and do not revoke the demand may be excluded from conversion and pursue appraisal rights.
