Dye & Durham Limited Expands Identity Verification Options in Unity Practice Management Platform Dye & Durham Limited announced the enhancement of its Unity Practice Management platform by giving customers more choice with the integration of Treefort Identity Verification. The addition of Treefort's identity verification solution to Unity reflects Dye & Durham's commitment to offering legal professionals flexibility with how they manage client identification. By integrating Treefort, Unity clients can now select the option best suited to their workflow, client needs, and regulatory requirements. This expanded choice empowers legal professionals to streamline their processes, reduce reliance on manual checks or external tools, and seamlessly leverage advanced digital verification technology directly within their trusted platform. As identity fraud risks increase and compliance demands become more complex, having multiple secure verification options helps legal practitioners adapt to evolving industry standards and enhance both efficiency and security in real estate transactions. As new regulatory changes and heightened scrutiny continue to shape the legal industry, secure client identification and trust have never been more crucial for Canadian legal professionals. Unity IDV integrations are designed to help legal professionals strengthen fraud prevention and securely transmit highly sensitive customer Personally Identifiable Information in an evolving regulatory landscape. By embedding identity verification into the workflow, Unity customers can more efficiently confirm client identities at the outset of an engagement without relying on manual processes or switching between separate tools. This helps support our customers in meeting Know Your Client (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, while reducing exposure to increasingly sophisticated fraud in real estate transactions. Treefort's digital identity verification platform uses multi-factor authentication and data analysis to verify identities beyond reviewing government-issued identification alone. Designed for Canadian legal professionals, the platform is intended to support compliance with FINTRAC requirements and Law Society client identification rules. The integration follows Treefort's achievement of the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework Verified Person Trustmark from the Digital Identification and Authentication Council of Canada. This independent certification is intended to validate, based on DIACC's assessment, the platform's applicable identity proofing and security controls. Treefort IDV is now available to Unity Practice Management customers across Canada. Unity is available nationally and facilitates approximately 1,000 real estate transactions per day. Unity is one of the most widely used conveyancing platforms supporting legal professionals across Canada. Tillkännagivande • Mar 05

Dye & Durham Limited Announces Launch of Unity, Canada's Premier Conveyancing Platform, in British Columbia Dye & Durham Limited announced the launch of Unity®, its conveyancing platform, in British Columbia (B.C.). With more than 350,000 real estate transactions processed annually and platform uptime above 99%, Unity® is Canada's most widely used conveyancing solution, trusted by legal professionals nationwide. Now with content and workflows specifically customized for B.C., Unity® provides B.C. legal professionals with an all-in-one solution that integrates matter management and document workflows with essential third-party systems to streamline the entire real estate transaction. The property conveyancing process requires seamless coordination across lenders, municipal tax authorities, and land registries, yet fragmented technology often slows workflows and increases operational pressure. A recent survey of British Columbia legal professionals and notaries, conducted by Dye & Durham in partnership with the BC Notary Association (BCNA), based on respondent feedback, confirms this challenge: more than 80% of responders identified a lack of platform integration as a major hurdle. The data also revealed a correlation between perceived efficiency and software integration: firms that rated the B.C. conveyancing process as more efficient were far more likely to report satisfaction with integrated tools, while firms reporting lower efficiency described dissatisfaction and fragmented systems requiring significant manual effort. Unity® addresses this gap through integrations with many of the platforms central to the conveyancing process, including Lender Centre for mortgage instructions, Tax Certificates Online (TCOL), and the Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA), alongside identity verification and accounting software. By connecting these essential services, Unity® helps reduce manual data entry, improves accuracy, and supports workflow continuity. The introduction of Unity® adds to Dye & Durham's portfolio in British Columbia, providing firms with access to a modern, cloud-based platform built on decades of experience in supporting legal professionals. Dye & Durham will continue to fully support its current product suite, including ProSuite, eConveyance, and Brief Convey. This gives firms the flexibility to choose the workflow that best suits their practice, now and in the future. Price Target Changed • Feb 09

Engine Capital Cautions Dye & Durham’s Board Against Further Entrenchment Tactics On November 11, 2024, Engine Capital LP, issued a statement accusing the Board of Directors, led by Chair Colleen Moorehead, of attempting to entrench itself and disenfranchise shareholders. Engine criticized the Board's recent actions, including raising what they described as frivolous concerns about Engine’s director nomination notice, potentially to invalidate the nomination. Engine expressed frustration over a letter from Company counsel that requested additional information and reiterated baseless claims that Engine is part of a shareholder group. Despite these actions, Engine intends to comply with the information requests and urged the Board to stop its gamesmanship and allow shareholders to vote for their nominees at the December Annual Meeting. Engine warned that if the Board invalidates their nomination, they would take legal action, which would waste shareholder capital and potentially delay the meeting. Engine also highlighted the Board's previous attempts to use a Competition Bureau investigation to maintain control and criticized the Board’s poor management, noting significant senior management departures and regulatory blockages of deals. Engine cautioned against further entrenchment maneuvers and emphasized that shareholders should have the right to elect a new Board focused on long-term value creation. New Risk • Nov 10

Engine Capital Provides Information to Shareholders On October 23, 2024, Engine Capital LP announced that Dye & Durham Limited is a high-quality business that is currently underearning due to CEO Matthew Proud’s mismanagement, an ineffective Board and a drop in real estate transactions, while peers trade at above 18x EBITDA, the Company’s stock hovers around 8.5x EBITDA. Engine Capital stating that since it suspects Matthew Proud will roll his equity in any transaction, a sale of Dye & Durham would essentially allow him to buy the business at the bottom of the cycle for a price that would most likely substantially undervalue the Company, and it believed that over 50% of Company’s shareholder base shares the view that now is not the right time to engage in a sale process. In addition, Engine Capital stated that it looks forward to unveiling Company director candidates for the Company in short order, along with Engine Capital operating plan, and providing shareholders the choice to vote for a better Company.

OneMove Capital Ltd. Files Claim in the Ontario Superior Court (Commercial List) Against Dye & Durham Limited Dye & Durham Limited announced that OneMove Capital Ltd. has filed a claim in the Ontario Superior Court (Commercial List) against the Company in respect of OneMove's shareholder proposal to remove director Edward D. Prittie from the Board, in an attempt to use the court to achieve an outcome that the Company does not believe its shareholders would accept. The Company believes OneMove's claim is baseless and without merit, and intends to mount a vigorous defence. The size of the Company's Board is fixed at seven members, as per the terms of the July 17, 2020 investor rights agreement between the Company, Plantro Ltd. and OneMove. The IRA provides OneMove and Plantro each with the right to nominate a single individual to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), with the balance of the nominees remaining with the Board, which ensures the composition of the Board represents all stakeholders. Engine Capital LP (together with its affiliates, "Engine") had previously nominated three individuals for election to the Board, in connection with the Company's upcoming special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on August 20, 2024 (the "Special Meeting"). OneMove's proposal and its related litigation is intended to contest a fourth seat on the Board which would potentially allow OneMove and Engine to gain control of the Board and the Company, without paying shareholders a control premium. In a good faith attempt to facilitate a settlement, the Board advanced a proposal that offered Engine and OneMove two seats on the Board. The Board's proposal was rejected, and they appear determined to proceed with their attempts to gain majority control of the Board. Notwithstanding the unnecessary cost and distraction imposed by the activist group, the Board has taken significant actions on its own accord to reposition the Company and substantially reconstitute the Board: The Board replaced two directors at the 2023 annual meeting, and through current negotiations has offered, in good faith, potentially another two independent seats to qualified board members Named a new Board Chair, Colleen Moorehead Engaged in significant ongoing discussions with all the stakeholders of the Company; Completed a significant and accretive re-financing; and, Continues to deliver solid financial results. The Board will always act in the best interests of all shareholders and act to protect their interests. Dye & Durham intends to file a counter claim that alleges that OneMove breached the provisions of the IRA, and that Engine induced this alleged breach. The Company is continuing to investigate the activity of OneMove and Engine for potential breaches of securities laws and will take the necessary steps to protect the Company and all of its shareholders from any damage caused by their conduct.
