Why It Matters
A corporate name and ticker change affects how the company is identified in markets and investor communications. Shareholders’ underlying holdings are not changed by this filing (CUSIP unchanged), but investors and brokers should use the new ticker (DFNS) when placing trades after the effective date. The 8-K does not disclose any changes to the company’s operations, management, or financial condition—this filing is limited to the legal name and ticker update.
