This amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “ Amendment No. 8 ”) relates to the Schedule 13D filed on January 17, 2019 (as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 8, the “ Schedule 13D ”) by (a) CT Opportunity Partners I LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (b) CT Opportunity Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (c) Driver Management Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (d) J. Abbott R. Cooper, citizen of the United States of America, and (e) John B. Thompson II, a citizen of the United States of America, relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of DNB Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ DNB ” or the “ Issuer ”).

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 8 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 8, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

 

On May 23, 2019, Mr. Cooper sent an email to James Thornton, chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors, expressing concerns regarding recent movements in the Issuer’s share price relative to a broad index of bank stocks and the fact that such price movements occurred in the absence of any public disclosures by the Issuer. The substance of Mr. Cooper’s email is set forth below:

 

Jim,

 

Below is a chart comparing DNBF’s stock price since the beginning of May to the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index:

 

This chart is disturbing to me—and should be to the board--for several reasons.  First, in the absence of any public statements by DNBF, the above chart suggests that, best case, the market is speculating that a transaction will be announced shortly, and, worst case, that information regarding any such transaction is leaking into the public domain.  In either case, I would think this would be a matter of grave concern for the DNBF board.

 

Second, to the extent that DNBF is pursuing a transaction, this type of short term spike in DNBF’s stock (and outperformance relative to the broader bank sector) creates serious risks, which I hope are clear to you, your fellow directors and any advisors you may have engaged as to the ability to get a transaction announced and approved by shareholders and I urge you and the board to act with all possible speed at this very delicate juncture.

 

Abbott
