Dyadic (DYAI) 10% Owner Francisco Trust Sells Shares, Holds Convertible Note
What Happened
Francisco Trust (a reported 10% owner) disposed of multiple blocks of Dyadic International (DYAI) common stock in open‑market sales between June 2024 and January 2025, generating aggregate cash proceeds of about $343,763. Separately, on March 8, 2024 the issuer issued an 8.0% senior secured convertible promissory note to the Trust (no cash paid for the conversion right). That Note was later amended (Oct 4, 2024 and Dec 23, 2025) to reduce conversion prices and increase the total number of shares into which it is convertible — currently convertible into a total of 952,381 shares (conversion prices: initially $1.79, then $1.40, then $1.05). The Note’s current expiration date is December 31, 2027.

Context
- The sales were open‑market disposals (routine liquidity events) while the March 2024 entry and later entries reflect a convertible debt instrument that can be converted into common stock at the holder’s option. These derivative entries are not cash purchases of stock today but represent potential future share issuance if the note is converted.
- As a 10% owner, Francisco Trust’s activity is institutional — disclosures show holdings and conversion rights but do not necessarily indicate management sentiment.
