Vivakor, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVK) announced a reset of the record date for its previously declared special dividend of Adapti Inc. shares, moving it from August 20 to September 5, 2025. This adjustment impacts the eligibility of shareholders to receive the dividend, which consists of Vivakor's approximately 206,595 shares in Adapti, representing a 13.5% stake in the company. The dividend distribution is structured such that each Vivakor shareholder will receive about 0.0079 Adapti shares per Vivakor share held, based on Vivakor's roughly 47.3 million outstanding shares, excluding those waived by insiders.
At Adapti's current share price of $2.50, the total value of the dividend amounts to approximately $0.515 million. This move is significant as it delays the distribution timeline, potentially allowing for better alignment with corporate strategies or market conditions. Vivakor, which provides energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services, emphasizes its mission to develop and operate assets in the energy sector, making this dividend a part of its broader asset management approach.
Adapti Inc., the recipient of Vivakor's investment, recently acquired The Ballengee Group, a Dallas-based sports management agency with a portfolio of about 200 professional athletes. This acquisition diversifies Adapti's business interests into the sports management industry, which could influence its future growth and valuation. The reset record date may provide Vivakor shareholders with more time to assess the implications of this acquisition on Adapti's performance and, consequently, the value of their dividend shares.
