Toronto, Ontario – September 23, 2024 – Dye & Durham Limited (“Dye & Durham” or the “Company”) (TSX: DND), today announced that the special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”), called in response to a shareholder requisition submitted by activist investor Engine Capital LP (“Engine”), has been scheduled for December 10, 2024.
The Company had previously called the Special Meeting for August 20, 2024, however it was later postponed because of an interim order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on July 17, 2024, after activist, OneMove Capital (“OneMove”) commenced baseless litigation against the Company. OneMove’s litigation, in which Engine was an intervenor party, was subsequently dismissed on September 17, 2024.
Shareholders will receive details about the matters to be presented at the Special Meeting and about how to vote in a management information circular to be delivered to shareholders in advance of the Special Meeting.
The Company remains hopeful that this matter can be settled and is open to a resolution to avoid the further expense and distraction of a contested shareholder meeting.
