Dye & Durham

The foregoing forward-looking information and/or forward-looking statements demonstrate the Company's objectives, which are not forecasts or estimates of its financial position, but are based on the implementation of the Company's strategic goals, growth prospects, and growth initiatives. Forward-looking information is generally based on a number of assumptions, opinions, and estimates, including, but not limited to: (i) the Company's results of operations will continue as expected, (ii) the Company will continue to effectively execute against its key strategic growth priorities, (iii) the Company will continue to retain and grow its existing customer base and market share, (iv) the Company will be able to take advantage of future prospects and opportunities, and realize on synergies, including with respect of acquisitions, (v) there will be no changes in legislative or regulatory matters that negatively impact the Company's business, (vi) current tax laws will remain in effect and will not be materially changed, (vii) economic conditions will remain relatively stable throughout the period, (viii) the industries the Company operates in will continue to grow consistent with past experience, (ix) exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels, (x) the seasonal trends in real estate transaction volume will continue as expected, (xi) the Company's expectations for increases to the average rate per user on its platforms, contractual revenues, and incremental earnings from its latest asset-based acquisition will be met, (xii) the Company being able to effectively upsell and cross-sell between practice management and data insights & due diligence customers, (xiii) the Company's expectations regarding its debt reduction strategy will be met, (xiv) Dye & Durham's director nominees will be elected as directors, and (xv) those assumptions described under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in the Company's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis. Specifically, to calculate annualized net interest savings, which includes estimated returns from the restricted cash held for retirement of the Company's convertible senior unsecured debentures due March 1, 2026 (the "2026 Debentures"), the interest costs on the Company's debt were estimated based on swapped interest rates entered into, which included assuming a variable interest rate of $32\%$ over the term of the Company's term loan B and this estimate was added to the stated fixed interest costs of the Company's $8.625\%$ senior secured notes due 2029 and the 2026 Debentures, and the total net interest cost, calculated based on the foregoing, was then compared to the annualized cost of interest actuals from the first half of fiscal 2024.

While these assumptions, opinions, and estimates are considered by the Company to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances as of the date of this presentation and given the time period for such projections and targets, they are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the Company will be unable to effectively execute against its key strategic growth priorities, including in respect of acquisitions; some or all of Dye & Durham's director nominees will not be elected as directors; the Company will be unable to continue to retain and grow its existing customer base and market share; risks related to the Company's business and financial position; the Company may not be able to accurately predict its rate of growth and profitability; risks related to economic and political uncertainty; income tax related risks; and the factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form and under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Company's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis, which are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Many of these risks are beyond the Company's control. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that the Company presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information.

Although the Company bases these forward-looking statements on assumptions that it believes are reasonable when made, the Company cautions investors that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that its actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which it operates may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. In addition, even if the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which it operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that are made in this presentation speaks only as of the date of such statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable securities laws. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data. All of the forward-looking information contained in this presentation is expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Non-IFRS Measures

This presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS financial measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. The Company's definitions of non-IFRS measures may not be the same as the definitions for such measures used by other companies in their reporting. Non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS financial measures, including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", "Organic Revenue Growth Rate", "Leveraged Free Cash Flow", and "Net Debt", to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance or operating conditions and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures" and "Select Information and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" in the Company's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Company's recent news releases, which are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for further details on these non-IFRS measures, including (i) definitions of each non-IFRS measure and an explanation of the composition of each non-IFRS financial measure, and (ii) relevant reconciliations of each non-IFRS measure to its most directly comparable IFRS measure, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

Certain totals, subtotals and percentages may not reconcile due to rounding.

WHY WE ARE HERE

An activist investor group led by Engine Capital LP ("Engine") is seeking to disrupt the Company's progress, a move that would destroy shareholder value.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has made every effort to find accommodations with Engine and another shareholder, OneMove Capital Ltd. ("OneMove"), including offering multiple seats on the Board. The activists rejected all offers and through their actions, made clear that their aim is to gain control of the Company and NOT to support the best interests of all shareholders.

The Dye & Durham Board and management team have driven a massive growth success story since the Company's IPO in July 2020.

The Company is strategically positioned for long-term success with help of the Board and management team.

The Board has been substantially refreshed and has the right mix of skills, experience and fresh shareholder focused perspective to continue to drive value for shareholders.

The Board recommends the election of its seven nominees who we believe have the best qualifications to continue Dye & Durham's disciplined execution and incredible growth trajectory.

The Board believes that the election of Engine's nominees and the adoption of its plan to replace management, would be value destructive.

The Board is asking for your support of DYE & DURHAM'S RECOMMENDED NOMINEES AND STRATEGY to ensure we can continue to execute our strategic plan to benefit all shareholders.

Dye & Durham

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Dye & Durham is Unlocking Substantial Value for ALL Shareholders

  • Reducing leverage by allocating at least 70% of Leveraged Free Cash Flow¹,² to debt reduction³
  • Pausing M&A until leverage is below 4x³
  • Sustaining rapidly growing ARR and aiming for over 50% of revenue under contract by end of FY 2026³
  • Investing in and executing on organic growth opportunities³

A Track Record of Outperformance and Extraordinary Compound Growth

  • Dye & Durham has created one of the world’s largest legal technology companies
  • The Company’s performance since its IPO has been underpinned by a compound annual growth rate of its EBITDA¹ of 58%, while its peer median reported just 12%⁴
  • Dye & Durham’s shares have returned over 84% over the past 12 months⁵, reflecting shareholder confidence in the Company’s strategic plan and its execution

The Board has Been Substantially Refreshed and has the Right Mix of Skills, Experience and Fresh Shareholder Focused Perspective

  • All members of the Board, except the Company’s CEO, are independent, and constructively challenge management and hold it accountable
  • The Board has been substantially refreshed including with individuals recommended by shareholders, but continues to maintain some institutional memory
  • The Board plays an important role setting Dye & Durham’s strategy including its approach to capital allocation and growth

Dye & Durham

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

CEO Succession Plan

  • On November 26th, our Board announced that Matthew Proud has decided to step down from the CEO role, after approximately three months or until the Board-led search for his successor is completed
  • With Dye & Durham well-positioned for a new era of growth, now is the right time to evolve our leadership to a new CEO who will inspire this next stage of growth and keep our momentum going
  • The refreshed Board has extensive experience in leadership succession and will select a world-class CEO to take the Company forward

Our Results Speak for Themselves

  • We recently provided record quarterly guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, forecasting our best quarter yet, with strong organic growth
  • Based on the continued success of our organic growth initiatives and our revenue transition model
  • Despite the unnecessary distraction over the past quarters, Dye & Durham remains focused on executing against our Value Creation Plan

An Activist Investor Group led by Engine is Attempting to Disrupt the Company's Progress and Would Destroy Shareholder Value

  • Engine's nominees, as a group, primarily consist of mid-level managers, who lack the public board and executive experience to act as independent fiduciaries and resist Engine's value destructive plans, including the wholesale replacement of the management team
  • The Board has made every effort to find accommodations with Engine and OneMove, including offering multiple seats on the Board
  • Engine has an ever-shifting narrative built on cherry-picked data and outright misstatements

When being certain is everything

Dye & Durham

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Engine Has Been a Poor Capital Allocator, and its Track Record has been Abysmal

  • Engine does not want the Board to consider strategic alternatives that could lead to a premium offer for all shareholders
  • At the nine companies where Mr. Ajdler served as a director, the median and average company Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance underperformed the Russell 3000 during his directorships by approximately 30%¹

Engine and OneMove's Campaign Weighed on the Company's Employees and its Share Price

  • Engine and OneMove's agitation campaign over the past several quarters weighed on the share price, created significant employee anxiety and contributed to staff turnover
  • Engine and OneMove took advantage of the weakness in the Company's share price to accumulate a control block of the Company's shares, for which they have enjoyed a substantial gain as Dye & Durham's business continues to perform well

A Control Slate – But No Plan to Run the Company?

  • Despite nominating a control slate of directors, and agitating for over a year, Engine has not released a detailed business plan, articulated how it intends to transition leadership, or what steps it intends to take to recruit new management.

SINCE IPO, WE HAVE BEEN EFFICIENT WITH OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO DRIVE ELEVATED EQUITY RETURNS

  • Strength and stability of underlying business along with high cash flow conversion / low capital intensity business enables higher leverage profile
  • Over the last year, management has been focused on investor feedback around leverage in a higher interest rate environment – we have listened and are prioritizing debt repayment over capital allocated towards growth initiatives
  • Current Senior Secured and Unsecured Convertible Net Debt / LTM Adj. EBITDA¹ of 5.2x (3.8x when excluding Unsecured Convertible debt) – leverage will reduce quickly as the company continues to grow organically³
  • Based on FY25 analyst consensus Adj. EBITDA estimates, leverage will reduce to 4.8x (3.5x when excluding Unsecured Convertible debt)²,³
  • This will be further accelerated through debt repayments from free cash flow – C$20.3MM completed in Q1³
  • Currently, the weighted average interest cost on the company’s debt is 7.16%

HOW WE ARE EXECUTING ON OUR LONG-TERM STRATEGY TO DRIVE SHAREHOLDER VALUE

CORE BUSINESS STRATEGY¹

  • Continuing the revenue model transition to more predictable and transparent contracted revenue as the foundation for D&D's investments in innovation and product enhancement, while still retaining exposure to transactional revenue benefits through minimum spend contracts and enabling customers to disburse cost
  • Capitalizing on cross-sell opportunity to our large tail of customers through full solution suite offering, single customer front-end (Unity) and more scalable sales approach
  • Product rationalization – consolidating investment and resources behind core go-forward Unity solutions
  • Streamlining people, processes and systems

CAPITAL ALLOCATION STRATEGY¹

  • Allocating excess cash flow from the business towards highest return alternatives, with a priority focus on reducing leverage to below 4.0x net debt / Adj. EBITDA²
  • Long-term, pursue strategic acquisitions that complement the business, maintaining strict discipline around capital deployment and leverage profile as well as acquisition valuation and targeted returns (5 year return of capital)
  • Opportunistically assessing monetization alternatives for non-core asset portfolio

EXECUTING THE STRATEGY¹

  • Our plan will be delivered by the company's experienced management team, who has been responsible for originating and successfully executing the business strategy and results to-date, under their defined playbook to drive the business thesis and shareholder value they set out to deliver

SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONING THE REVENUE MODEL

  • Beginning in FY 22, Dye & Durham has executed very successfully on transitioning its revenue model towards higher quality contracted revenue – this continues to be part of the go-forward strategy
  • This provides greater visibility and predictability into future revenue streams
  • Minimum spend contracts on transactional revenue platforms were designed to create more predictable revenue through a contractual arrangement with the customer, while still providing customers with the benefit of disbursing costs and rewarding frequent customers with lower pricing. These contracts also retain macro upside exposure for the company
  • Since Q4 2022, contracted ARR revenue has increased from 10% to ~30% with revenue up ~14% excluding impact of TM Group despite global historic reduction in real estate transaction volumes

DYE & DURHAM'S ORGANIC GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY

A Managing the Top Customers¹

  • Dye & Durham will continue to focus its account management team on its top 3,000–5,000 largest customers
  • The objective is to interest these customers in ARR contracts and increase cross-sell opportunities. By fostering customer loyalty through attractive pricing, a strong customer experience, and increased innovation and product investment, more customers will choose to contract with Dye & Durham and we will ensure predictability of our largest revenue streams

B Targeting the Longer Tail²

  • We are focusing our efforts to drive additional subscription revenue from our long tail
  • Subscription packages will offer a single solution to multiple essential platforms vs. today’s pain of many single point solutions and dealing with multiple vendors
  • A successful conversion rate presents a substantial revenue uplift opportunity by transitioning the majority of the 32,000+ long tail customers to subscription licenses. This increases recurring revenue, enhances customer retention, and increases wallet share

CONSOLIDATING AND RATIONALIZING PRODUCT SUITE

  • Since the start of FY 23, approximately 7,500 customers have been upgraded from legacy platforms to Unity branded platforms, with continued upgrade plans in place across Canada, U.K and Australia in the near-term
  • This is a complex process with significant benefits spanning both customer experience and optimizing internal operations and investment

PATH TO REDUCING LEVERAGE

Dye & Durham

NET DEBT REDUCTION PRINCIPLES⁴

  • Reduce Leverage: Lower the Company’s Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA² ratio below 4.0x by focusing on organic growth and allocating at least 70% of Leveraged Free Cash Flow(²,³) to Net Debt reduction, until that ratio is met.
  • Pause M&A: Suspend significant M&A activity until leverage is below 4x. Dye & Durham will selectively pursue accretive M&A that supports leverage target of 2.5-3.5x.
  • Commitment to reducing net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio below 4.0x as quickly as possible: through a combination of debt reduction, organic growth, and cash flow improvement, with a goal to operate the business in a range of 2.5x to 3.5x leverage in the long term².

Illustrative Deleveraging Example – Net Debt / EBITDA²,³

Net Debt EBITDA (C$MM)
Current LTM FY25 Consensus (1) 10% Growth vs. Current 15% Growth vs. Current 20% Growth vs. Current
Current Net Debt 5.2x 4.8x 4.7x 4.5x 4.3x
C$50MM Repayment 5.0x 4.6x 4.5x 4.3x 4.2x
C$100MM Repayment 4.8x 4.4x 4.4x 4.2x 4.0x
C$150MM Repayment 4.6x 4.2x 4.2x 4.0x 3.8x

Achievable and rapid path to <4.0x leverage exists driven by strong business fundamentals and management executing well against strategy

DYE & DURHAM ENGAGED IN GOOD FAITH WITH ENGINE & ONEMOVE, WHO WERE INTENT ON GAINING CONTROL

Dye & Durham has a long and established track record of regular engagement with its shareholders. Members of the Board and management team are regularly involved in this effort and have been available and accountable to shareholders.

  • Dye & Durham has met with Engine and Mr. Ajdler several times since its first direct contact in December 2023.
  • During the Company’s first interaction, Engine, purporting to have the support of OneMove and other major shareholders, demanded that the Board appoint the first in what would become a rotating cast of potential nominees.
  • Over the span of subsequent engagements, OneMove, potentially working in concert with Engine, was attempting to engineer other changes on the Board, including the resignation of director Edward Prittie.
  • Engine requisitioned a special meeting of shareholders to replace three directors on the Board with Engine’s Ajdler and two individuals.
  • OneMove later proposed to remove director Edward Prittie from the Board at the special meeting and to replace him with Eric Shahinian, pursuant to the terms of the investor rights agreement.
  • With a combined ~15% ownership, they would have represented four of the seven seats on the Board, if elected.

DYE & DURHAM MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REACH A SETTLEMENT

Dye & Durham

Dye & Durham has a long and established track record of regular engagement with its shareholders. Members of the Board and management team are regularly involved in this effort and have been available and accountable to shareholders.

  • The Board honoured its obligations and nominated Mr. Shahinian, however, it determined that OneMove did not have the right to remove director Prittie at the special meeting and rejected its proposal, a move the Court later ruled in favor of.
  • The Board made several efforts to attempt to avoid a proxy contest and find a resolution. Director Leslie O'Donoghue stepped off the Board to create a vacancy, and the Board advanced settlement constructs, including a proposal that offered Engine and OneMove multiple seats on the Board.
  • While the Board's efforts to constructively engage with Engine and OneMove did not lead to a settlement, in October, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with another long-term and engaged shareholder which resulted in the addition of two new independent nominees for the Board at the 2024 annual meeting (the "Annual Meeting").
  • Engine, in response, attacked the Company for working constructively with other shareholders.
  • Engine later withdrew its requisition for the special meeting and is attempting to nominate six individuals for the Board, in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting.

Dye & Durham

ENGINE'S CAMPAIGN IS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE INTERESTS FOR ALL SHAREHOLDERS

Engine seems determined to press for an unnecessary proxy contest

  • The Board made every effort to find accommodations with Engine and OneMove, including offering multiple seats on the Board
  • Engine's ever-shifting, escalating and unacceptable demands are making it impossible to find a settlement that would be in the best interests of all stakeholders
  • The Board has and will continue its constructive engagement efforts with other shareholders, and as a result, entered into a cooperation agreement with a long-term and engaged shareholder which resulted in the addition of two new independent nominees for the Board at the Annual Meeting
  • Engine, in response, attacked the Company for working constructively with other shareholders

Zero premium takeover attempt

  • Dye & Durham believes that, from the outset, Engine has coordinated its actions with other shareholders including OneMove to press for Board changes
  • In doing so, Engine and OneMove may have violated Early Warning requirements
  • The Board believes that Engine and its partners are attempting to gain control of Dye & Durham, with no plan and no management team to run the company
  • Notwithstanding the Board's concerns, it is determined to allow Engine's nominations to proceed, for the sake of shareholder democracy. Shareholders have an opportunity to send Engine a clear message about its conduct.

Engine seeks nothing less than full control and a Board answerable only to Engine

When being certain is everything

Strictly private and confidential for discussion purposes only


Dye & Durham

ENGINE'S CAMPAIGN IS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE INTERESTS FOR ALL SHAREHOLDERS

Demonstrated disregard for potential value-maximizing strategic alternatives

  • Engine has essentially demanded that the Board abandon its fiduciary duties and not consider potential value maximizing alternatives, while advancing inaccurate and speculative allegations about the Company's motives
  • Engine appeared determined to prevent the Board from considering all paths that would preserve and maximize shareholder value – before it can gain control
  • On November 20, 2024, Dye & Durham paused the strategic review process in light of the current activist situation and in response to feedback from a select group of the Company's shareholders

Ever-shifting narrative built on cherry-picked data and outright misstatements

  • Engine's critiques rely on a superficial understanding of our business, border on the nonsensical and some even conflict with one another
  • Engine has misrepresented the Company's share price performance and claimed Dye & Durham's debt since December 31, 2023 had increased, when in fact its Net Debt¹ had decreased by almost $88 million as of June 30, 2024

Engine lacks credible and actionable, strategic or operational ideas

  • Members of the Board and management team have met with Mr. Ajdler several times, and each time came away believing that his understanding of Dye & Durham's business was superficial, and his prescriptions for "change" constantly shifting
  • If the Board had acceded to Engine's demands over the past several months, it would have been value destructive for shareholders
  • Among its demands, Engine demanded that Dye & Durham not proceed with its $1.2 billion refinancing transaction, which transaction enhanced the Company's balance sheet and lowered its cash interest costs²

RISKS TO ENGINE'S PLAN TO RECRUIT NEW MANAGEMENT

Engine's attempt at wholesale change of the Board compounded by its stated intention to replace the management team, is reckless, puts the business at risk, and is potentially value destructive

Dye & Durham's business was built through a deliberate and intentional process that has enabled the Company to become a leader in the markets it competes in

The management team has played a critical role in this growth, development, and integration of the Company's acquired businesses, which have propelled its growth

This team understands how to leverage its products, create cross-sell opportunities, and to develop customer loyalty built on best-in-class offerings

Our efforts to enhance the Company's balance sheet, including the refinancing completed this year, and the transition of its business to a sustainable SaaS model, are underpinned by management's knowledge and expertise

Dye & Durham's business is complex, and the management team possesses institutional knowledge that is critical to Dye & Durham's continued execution of its value creation plan

Engine's plan to replace the management team underscores its inability to understand and recognize the risks, complexity, and opportunity offered by Dye & Durham's business

ENGINE HAS NO PLAN TO DRIVE VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS

Dye & Durham

A Value Destructive Campaign – With No Plan for Shareholders

  • The Company believes that Engine and OneMove’s agitation campaign over the past several quarters weighed on the share price, created significant employee anxiety and contributed to staff turnover
  • Engine and OneMove took advantage of the weakness in the Company’s share price to accumulate a control block of the Company’s shares, for which they have enjoyed a substantial gain as Dye & Durham’s business continues to perform well
  • Engine proposes to throw the Company into chaos, disrupt its upward trajectory, and will destroy value
  • Engine has had over a year to present a credible plan to shareholders and failed to do so

ENGINE IS A POOR CAPITAL ALLOCATOR

Dye & Durham

While he seeks to gain representation on and control of Dye & Durham's Board, shareholders should take note that Mr. Ajdler's track record has been value destructive at the companies he has served on the board of

  • Mr. Ajdler's Engine appears to have a convenient habit of turning up at companies in the midst of growth and transition, in an attempt to take credit for initiatives already underway
  • He is attempting this at Dye & Durham, waging a contest knowing that the Company had been repositioned to deliver long-term sustainable value
  • Mr. Ajdler's board tenures have been marked by underperformance against the benchmark index
  • He has had multiple failed campaigns at companies including failed attempts to nominate directors at Blucora/Avantax, where the company went on to drive more value for shareholders by disregarding Engine's demands

ENGINE'S POORLY QUALIFIED NOMINEES

Dye & Durham

ENGINE'S POORLY QUALIFIED NOMINEES

Dye & Durham does not believe that Engine’s handpicked nominees are qualified to act as independent fiduciaries for shareholders or effective stewards of Dye & Durham’s business

The nominee qualifications and experience that Engine is attempting to highlight as value-accretive, are exaggerated, dated or related to limited duration or tenure

Engine’s nominees, as a group, lack the business and governance experience required to act as independent fiduciaries and resist Engine’s value destructive plans, including the wholesale replacement of the management team

In addition, Engine nominees lack meaningful public company financial, operating, and board experience – critical areas that the Company remains focused on

ENGINE'S POORLY QUALIFIED NOMINEES

Dye & Durham does not believe that Engine’s handpicked nominees are qualified to act as stewards of Dye & Durham’s business

As long-term shareholders are aware, since its IPO, Dye & Durham has created one of the world’s largest legal technology companies, outperforming virtually all of its peers by all key financial metrics as well as the Russell 3000 Index

Engine and OneMove’s attempt at wholesale change of the Board, and Engine’s statements that it intends to replace the management team, are reckless and will result in an irreplaceable loss of institutional knowledge

To displace experienced and highly qualified directors with Engine’s underqualified slate would be potentially value destructive, and not in the best interests of shareholders
