OneMove: Sylogist Board Struggles with Basic Math: Two Does Not Equal One

Comments on David Barr's PenderFund: the Only Voice Still Defending 67% Value Destruction

When Offered a Seat, Our Nominee Found a Board That Cannot Answer Basic Questions About Its Own Business

BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS, March 18, 2026 /CNW/ -- OneMove Capital Ltd. ("OneMove"), a major shareholder of Sylogist Ltd. (TSX: SYZ) ("Sylogist" or the "Company"), today responded to the Company's continued campaign of misleading shareholders rather than addressing its record of value destruction.

The Board's inability to recognize that two and one are not the same number is unfortunately consistent with the same lack of analytical rigor that has defined its stewardship of the Company. This is a Board that has overseen a 34 percentage point collapse in Adjusted EBITDA margins, while increasing S&M and R&D spending by more than 6x without generating commensurate returns. Free cash flow has declined by 60%. ROIC has fallen from nearly 100% to effectively zero. The Company has missed its own Rule-of-40 target for eight consecutive quarters, and has now abandoned the target entirely. If this Board cannot count to two in a settlement negotiation, shareholders should not be surprised that it has been unable to track basic KPIs, manage the fiscal picture, or hold management accountable for years of broken promises. The pattern is the same whether it involves director math or financial oversight: a persistent unwillingness, or inability, to engage with the facts in front of them.

OneMove is setting the record straight. Here are the facts:

• OneMove has pushed for a settlement from day one. We have consistently proposed the appointment of two of our highly qualified nominees so the real work of fixing this Company can begin. The Board countered with one of our nominees and one of their choosing. That is not what we proposed, and the Board knows it. It is gamesmanship and entrenchment at shareholders' expense. Two is not one.
• Our nominee was offered a seat and turned it down. That should tell shareholders everything. After asking basic questions about strategy and the challenges facing the business, our nominee was alarmed by the Board's lack of understanding and absence of urgency. Seven weeks into a CEO search, there was no finalized candidate profile. Despite each director having served for more than a year, the Board continues to claim they have "just arrived" and need more time. Our nominee concluded that joining this Board alone would not be effective. Meaningful change requires more than one voice in a room that does not want to listen.
• OneMove has no desire to control this Board. We want independent directors with the skills, experience, and urgency to fix this mess, not PenderFund employees installed as Chair to preserve the status quo.
• There has been no internal refresh: every change has been the result of OneMove's efforts. The CEO departure, the Chairman stepping aside, the so-called "strategic review", none of it happened until OneMove applied pressure. Left to its own devices, this Board did nothing.
• The Board is pointing fingers instead of fixing problems. Rather than addressing 67% value destruction, collapsing margins, and broken promises, the Board is attempting to make this personal. Shareholders see through it.
• Disruption is exactly what Sylogist needs. The Board calls it "stability", but shareholders call it complacency. Six years of "stability" produced 67% value destruction, a 57% valuation discount to peers, and a company that underperforms on every key operating metric. The status quo is not working.
• PenderFund's David Barr stands alone in defending the indefensible. Shareholders have told us that Mr. Barr would rather mislead investors by attempting to blame OneMove for Dye & Durham's challenges, where Engine Capital was in charge, than answer for PenderFund's own track record at Sylogist: a 52% stock decline since their nominee joined the Board. Outside of Mr. Barr, OneMove has heard overwhelmingly from shareholders, and the message is clear: change is needed now.

The belated departure of Barry Foster, who oversaw 67% value destruction during his tenure as Chairman and resisted stepping down at every turn, is long overdue, not a gesture of goodwill. Shareholders should not mistake a forced exit for voluntary renewal.

OneMove remains wholly committed to providing shareholders their right to elect a Board they can trust, and looks forward to speaking directly with shareholders leading up to the May 12 Annual and Special Meeting.
