Item 8.01.Other Events

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to correct a typographical error appearing on page S-6 of the preliminary prospectus supplement filed by Daseke, Inc. (the “Company”) on September 18, 2017 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”). After giving pro forma effect to the additions of the companies described therein under “Summary—Recent Developments—Acquisitions,” the Company’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 would have been approximately $453 million, a 27 percent increase compared to actual results of $358 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as previously reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and not $777 million, a 14 percent increase compared to actual results, as stated in the Preliminary Prospectus.

In addition, this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to add a selling stockholder to the Preliminary Prospectus.  The added selling stockholder, James Niemann Trust, is offering 10,000 shares.  As such, pursuant to the Preliminary Prospectus, the selling stockholders are offering 409,833 shares of the Company’s common stock (rather than 399,833 shares as listed in the Preliminary Prospectus), and the Company is offering 4,000,167 shares of the Company’s common stock (as listed in the Preliminary Prospectus) and intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 661,500 shares of common stock (rather than 660,000 shares as listed in the Preliminary Prospectus).

The table set forth on page S-21 of the Preliminary Prospectus is hereby updated as follows:

(1)

The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the bases of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the beneficial owners has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares of common stock.

(2)

Percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 38,716,382 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 15, 2017.

(3)

Percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 42,716,549 shares of common stock outstanding immediately after this offering (43,376,549 shares if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full).

(4)

Mr. Wirkkala serves, and for at least the past three years has served, as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Smokey Point Distributing, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.

Mr. Jordan serves, and for at least the past three years has served, as the President of Lone Star Transportation, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, which Daseke Companies, Inc. (f/k/a Daseke, Inc.) acquired in October 2014. Mr. Jordan served as a member of the board of directors of Daseke Companies, Inc. (f/k/a Daseke, Inc.) after the consummation of such acquisition until September 2015 and again from July 2016 until December 2016.

Mr. Jordan is the record holder of 1,250,537 shares of common stock prior to this offering. The shares reported in the above table also include shares held of record by The Jordan Family Irrevocable Trust and The Joy and Kevin Jordan Revocable Trust.

(6)

Joseph Kevin Jordan is the trustee of both The Jordan Family Irrevocable Trust and The Joy and Kevin Jordan Revocable Trust and therefore may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the reported shares.
