Dye & Durham Provides Corporate Governance Update
- Board continues to engage with nominating shareholders in attempt to find an amicable settlement
- Director Leslie O'Donoghue to step down to help facilitate a resolution
TORONTO, July 5, 2024 /CNW/ - Dye & Durham Limited (the "Company" or "Dye & Durham") (TSX: DND) today provided an update to shareholders on the Board's efforts to arrive at a settlement with parties who have nominated individuals for election at the Company's upcoming special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on August 20, 2024 (the "Special Meeting").
The Board continues to pursue and advance proposals that it believes would be in the best interests of all shareholders, and potentially avoid the expense and distraction of a contested shareholder meeting.
Related to those proposals, director Leslie O'Donoghue will resign from the Company's board of directors (the "Board") with immediate effect. Ms. O'Donoghue was a valuable contributor to the Board during her tenure as a director. Following discussions with fellow directors, it was determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company for her to resign to help facilitate constructive and good faith discussions with the nominating shareholder parties.
"The Board continues to attempt to seek a resolution with parties who have nominated individuals for election at the upcoming special meeting. The Board is working tirelessly to find an equitable alternative that avoids a contested shareholder meeting. We are grateful to Leslie for her contributions to the Board, and appreciated the informed perspective and depth of experience she brought to our deliberations," said Colleen Moorehead, Chair of the Board.
