DYE & DURHAM PROVIDES BI-WEEKLY DEFAULT STATUS REPORT

TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Dye & Durham Limited (the "Company" or "Dye & Durham") (TSX: DND) is providing this bi-weekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203").

On October 1, 2025, the Company announced that, at the request of the Company, the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") issued a temporary and voluntary management cease trade order (the "MCTO") against the Company under NP 12-203 in connection with the Company's delayed filing of its: (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (the "Annual Financial Statements"), (ii) management's discussion and analysis relating to the Annual Financial Statements, and (iii) CEO and CFO certificates relating to the Annual Financial Statements (together, the "Annual Filings"). The Annual Filings were required to be filed by September 29, 2025.

The MCTO prohibits the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from trading in and acquisitions of, whether directly or indirectly, securities of the Company until two full business days following receipt by the OSC of the Annual Filings. The MCTO does not restrict or affect the ability of other shareholders or investors to trade in the Company's securities.

Pursuant to NP 12-203, Dye & Durham must file bi-weekly default status reports by way of news releases during the period of the MCTO. The Company confirms that since October 1, 2025, being the date the Company announced the issuance of the MCTO (the "MCTO Announcement"): (i) there has been no material change to the information contained in the MCTO Announcement; (ii) there has been no failure to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203; (iii) there has not been any other specified default subsequent by the Company under NP 12-203; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

Dye & Durham is working with its advisors and its auditor to complete the previously disclosed review process with the OSC as quickly as possible. Preparation of the Annual Financial Statements and audit work are continuing in parallel with the Company's engagement with the OSC on the issue-oriented review letter (the "Review Letter") in order to allow the Company to file the Annual Filings as soon as possible following completion of the OSC review process. Until the filing of the Annual Filings and during the period of the MCTO, the Company will follow the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as required by NP 12-203.
