DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

 

Dynamic Materials Corporation, or DMC, is a leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates. Explosion-weld cladding uses an explosive charge to bond together plates of different metals that do not bond easily with traditional welding techniques.  We also provide products used in oil and gas fields for exploration and recovery of oil and gas. These products relate primarily to oil and gas well perforation which is a process of punching holes in the casing of a well to enable easier and more precise recovery of oil or gas from a targeted formation.

 

Our principal executive offices are at 5405 Spine Road, Boulder, Colorado 80301 and our telephone number is (303) 665-5700.  Additional information about us can be obtained on the investor relations section of our website.  Our website is www.dynamicmaterials.com, although the information on our website is not incorporated into this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as may otherwise be described in the prospectus supplement relating to an offering of securities, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus and the prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes. We will determine any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose at the time of the offering and will describe the allocation in the related prospectus supplement.

When our board of directors specifies the terms of the preferred stock, the terms will be set forth in a certificate of designations to be filed with the secretary of state of Delaware.
