Dye & Durham Provides Update on Legal Action and Strategic Review Process

TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Dye & Durham Limited ("Dye & Durham" or the "Company") (TSX: DND), a leading provider of cloud-based legal practice management software, today shared the following update regarding its previously announced strategic review, which will consider the sale of all or part of the Company, as well as its recent action to ensure the integrity of that review.

The Strategic Committee of the Board of Directors, which is chaired by independent director and Plantro Ltd. ("Plantro") nominee David Danziger, is committed to and remains actively engaged in the review of strategic alternatives to maximize value for all shareholders. The review may include a sale of the Company, asset sales, recapitalizations, or potential mergers.

The Strategic Committee had been actively reviewing Plantro's unsolicited proposal. While this review was ongoing, Plantro sought to abandon the Cooperation Agreement entirely. After the Company moved to protect the bargain defined in the Cooperation Agreement by enforcing its legal rights, Plantro unilaterally withdrew its proposal and proceeded to publish misleading statements concerning the Company's financial leverage and future prospects, harming both the Company and its strategic review. Separately, CIBC Capital Markets has decided not to proceed as financial advisor, and the Strategic Committee is in the process of engaging a new financial advisor.  

Despite the actions taken by Plantro, the Company would be willing to settle its litigation against Mr. Proud and Plantro if they unequivocally reaffirm their commitment to the bargain struck in July, abide by the Cooperation Agreement and respect the principles of a fair and transparent strategic review.
