This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-216854) previously filed by Daseke, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 21, 2017, amended on
April 17, 2017 and declared effective on April 21, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed by the Registrant to register up to 17,520,332 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”),
that were issuable
upon the exercise of warrants, as well as the resale by the selling securityholders named therein of up to
of 55,443,935 shares of Common Stock, 15,080,756 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and 650,000 shares of the Registrant’s 7.625% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed by the Registrant to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement.
On April 1, 2024, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 22, 2023, by and among the Registrant, TFI International Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Parent”), and Diocletian MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement, if any, as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Montreal, Province of Québec, Canada, on April 1, 2024.*
