DYE & DURHAM ISSUES STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS MADE BY FORMER CEO MATT PROUD

DYE & DURHAM ISSUES STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS MADE BY FORMER CEO MATT PROUD

TORONTO, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Dye & Durham Limited ("Dye & Durham" or the "Company") (TSX: DND), a leading provider of cloud-based legal practice management software, issued the following statement in response to whistleblower allegations made by Plantro Ltd. ("Plantro"), a company associated with former CEO Matt Proud.

"Dye & Durham takes all whistleblower complaints seriously and has strong processes in place to investigate them thoroughly and independently with third parties.

Unfortunately, the release of this information today appears to be yet another attempt by Plantro to disparage and distract the Board of Directors (Board) and disrupt the turnaround progress that is underway from legacy issues created under the leadership of Matt Proud. The Board is concerned by Mr. Proud's claims of access to strictly confidential information and the public dissemination of that information, which appears to be motivated by Mr. Proud's own self-interest. If Mr. Proud's interests were aligned with those of other shareholders, he would have raised his concerns privately with the Board instead of making unsubstantiated public statements.

The Board and management team remain committed to evaluating and implementing all options to accelerate value creation and deliver the best outcomes for shareholders, employees and customers."
