Four Tree Island Advisory, a significant shareholder in DoubleDown Interactive (DDI), is urging the Special Committee of DDI's Board to demand a fair value for minority shareholders, believing DoubleU Games' offer of $11.25 per ADS "woefully undervalues" the company. Citing DDI's strong operating performance, increased revenue, and adjusted EBITDA, the advisory firm suggests the company is worth at least $26.40 per ADS. They propose that if DoubleU Games is unwilling to offer fair value, DDI should consider repurchasing DoubleU Games' ownership interest instead.
