Bryan & all:

Looks like everyone except Safeguard is selling. Below I've pasted
the selling stockholders from the S-3, and also below that, the
initial selling stockholders from the original S-1. Recalling that at
the Groundhog investor's forum Donald Caldwell mentioned that when you
see Safeguard and others selling, in addition to the company, it means
the newly public company didn't want to give up that much of their
capitalization, so other shareholders would have to make up the
difference to keep the rights offering ratio desired by Safeguard.

So, given that, what this means for DTPI is for someone else to
interpret. (I sold late last year.)
