DF KING CO
D.F. King & Co., Inc. is a business corporation incorporated in Delaware and registered to transact business in New York State. The New York Department of State records the company under entity ID 1690596 as an active foreign business corporation, with an initial New York filing date of 30 December 1992 and New York County as its county of business; the nine-digit value 132590221 is not a New York Department of State entity identifier. D.F. King & Co., Inc. works for listed issuers as a proxy solicitor and information agent, and supplies shareholder-identification, ownership-intelligence and corporate-governance advisory services. Filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show the company trading under this name into 2026: it is the named information agent for the GDEV Inc. self-tender offer commenced on 31 August 2026 and for the Vasta Platform Ltd tender offer filed on 17 September 2025. The contact domain used in those filings, dfking.com, redirects to the Equiniti United States website. Neither Delaware nor New York requires corporations to file accounts, and no entity-level revenue or employee figure is published for D.F. King & Co., Inc.

Shareholders
Shareholders of D.F. King & Co., Inc.
No shareholder information was supplied for D.F. King & Co., Inc. The provider’s shareholder dataset for this record contains no rows at all, which is different from a record that reports zero or unknown holders. Independent checking of primary sources did not produce a disclosed shareholder list either. The company is incorporated in Delaware and registered in New York as a foreign business corporation under DOS ID 1690596, and neither the Delaware Division of Corporations nor the New York Department of State publishes share registers or beneficial-ownership declarations for privately held corporations. D.F. King & Co., Inc. is not itself a registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, so no proxy statement, registration statement or Schedule 13D/G discloses ownership of its own shares. The availability of shareholder information for D.F. King & Co., Inc. is therefore best described as Not public rather than Not found: the information exists but is not published. Nothing here should be read as evidence that the company has no shareholders.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner of D.F. King & Co., Inc. is identified by any authoritative source. No part of an ownership chain is published, so no effective ownership percentage can be reported or calculated, and no UBO threshold can be applied. A corporate acquisition of the company was announced in 2014 and is described in the group-structure section, but an announced acquirer is not the same as a verified ultimate beneficial owner and no percentage was disclosed.
Data availability
Shareholder and beneficial-ownership disclosure for United States corporations is handled at state level, and neither of the two states relevant to this company — Delaware as the state of incorporation and New York as the state of registration — publishes shareholder or UBO records for private corporations. Availability: Not public. Information date: registry data retrieved 30 September 2026.

Officers
2
Directors and officers of D.F. King & Co., Inc.
One officer entry for D.F. King & Co., Inc. appears in an official register. The New York Department of State’s active-corporations record for DOS ID 1690596 carries the name Mark C. Healy in its chairman / chief executive officer field, with a New York, NY service location. New York publishes no appointment date, no resignation date, no nationality and no country of residence for that entry, and it publishes no date for the biennial statement the entry was taken from, so the record may be out of date. Nationality is Not disclosed. The New York register does not list a board of directors or a company secretary for foreign corporations, so the size and composition of the board of D.F. King & Co., Inc. cannot be established from it, and Delaware, the state of incorporation, publishes no officer or director information at all. No resigned or former officers are recorded.
Officer records not carried forward
The two officer rows supplied with this record are not reproduced here and no name from them is published. Both carry the occupation “Processor”, neither has an appointment or resignation date, and between them they split what reads as a single firm name across the first-name and last-name fields rather than identifying a natural person — one row’s first name is the other row’s surname. The service address on them is in the 10004 postcode, which matches neither the New York service location on the register entry above nor the registered-agent address recorded for the company. No official register or filing was found that records either row in an officer role at D.F. King & Co., Inc., so on that evidence they are not published as directors or officers.
Data availability
Officer information for D.F. King & Co., Inc. is Partial and Current only. New York publishes a single chief-executive / chairman name for a foreign business corporation and nothing else — no directors, no company secretary, no appointment or termination dates, no historical appointments, no nationality and no country of residence — and Delaware publishes no officer data for corporations. Nationality is not disclosed by either register and has not been inferred. Information date: registry data retrieved 30 September 2026; the underlying New York filing is undated in the published data.

Data-provider feed — rows as supplied to Zavia for New York Department of State — Division of Corporations, including entries the profile above does not cover. These rows are not a verbatim copy of the register: they have been found to duplicate the same person under different spellings and to keep a status of Active after an appointment ended. Where they disagree with the profile above, the profile is the checked version.
Group Structure
Group structure of D.F. King & Co., Inc.
No corporate-linkage information was supplied for D.F. King & Co., Inc.: the provider’s group dataset for this record contains no rows at all. Neither the New York Department of State nor the Delaware Division of Corporations publishes parent, subsidiary or shareholding information, so no corporate relationship can be confirmed from the company’s own registers, and none is asserted here on that basis.
Two relationships are documented outside the registers. The first is a completed acquisition: on 24 June 2014 AST Fund Solutions, LLC announced that it had completed the purchase of D.F. King & Co., Inc. and its operating businesses. The announcement described AST Fund Solutions, LLC as the United States affiliate of CST Trust Company, and stated that CST was part of the Link Group. No ownership percentage was disclosed. The second is a current affiliation rather than a filed ownership link: dfking.com, the contact domain D.F. King & Co., Inc. uses in its 2025 and 2026 SEC tender-offer filings, redirects to equiniti.com, where Equiniti presents D.F. King as one of its own brands. No filing was located that names the present direct or ultimate parent of D.F. King & Co., Inc., or that states any ownership percentage, so neither relationship is presented here as a verified current parent.
A separately registered company with a similar name
D.F. KING LTD is a distinct legal entity and is not the company described on this page. It is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 09288591, incorporated on 30 October 2014, with a registered office at Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL and the registered SIC code 70221 (financial management). Companies House records that it was named LINK DFK LIMITED from 30 October 2014 until 19 February 2015. It holds LEI 2138006KXTMKNHP8XQ47. No filing was located that establishes a parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationship between D.F. KING LTD and D.F. King & Co., Inc.; the two are recorded in different registers, under different numbers, in different jurisdictions, and share only the trading name.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this entity is Not public at register level: neither Delaware nor New York publishes ownership or group data for corporations, and D.F. King & Co., Inc. does not file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in its own name. The relationships described above rest on a dated corporate announcement and on official company websites, not on a filed ownership statement, and they carry no percentages. The absence of registry linkage is not evidence that D.F. King & Co., Inc. is independent or has no parent. Information date: 30 September 2026.
