Dye & Durham Ltd. has mailed its management information circular and related meeting materials in respect of its coming annual general meeting of shareholders, to be held on Dec. 19, 2023. In addition the company announced the following individuals that are included in this year's slate of directors that will be proposed for election at the meeting:

  • Brian L. Derksen, an independent director and the current chair of the board of directors;
  • Matthew Proud, the company's global chief executive officer;

  • Ronnie Wahi, an independent director and the current chair of the audit committee of the board;
  • Colleen Moorehead, a proposed new independent director;
  • Peter C. Brimm, a proposed new independent director.

Both Ms. Moorehead and Mr. Brimm are very well respected in the Canadian business community, and the company is very excited to have them as part of this year's slate of directors.

"Colleen and Peter are great additions to the Board with diverse experiences and expertise that will support our continued growth," said Mr. Proud, CEO of Dye & Durham.

Ms. Moorehead is currently a special adviser to Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. Ms. Moorehead has extensive experience building successful companies and valuable brands. She had a long successful career in the financial services industry that spans over 35 years. While she began her career at Merrill Lynch and CIBC, Ms. Moorehead was a co-founder and president of E*TRADE Canada. Ms. Moorehead is chair of the board of Merrco Payments and past chair of the governance committee and board member of Solium Capital. She also participates in the early-stage ecosystem through the iNovia Capital board of advisers, Creative Destruction Lab strategic advisory board and 111 advisory committee. Since 2003, Ms. Moorehead has been a founder and business director of The Judy Project, one of Canada's leading leadership forums, uniquely designed for executive women ascending to C-suite positions at the University of Toronto's Joseph Rotman School of Management. Ms. Moorehead is based in Toronto, Ont., Canada.

Mr. Brimm has over 20 years of capital allocation, investing and operating experience across multiple industries as a strategy and operations consultant, C-suite executive, and investor. Mr. Brimm is currently the president of Envoy Holdings, a family office. Prior to this position, Mr. Brimm was the executive vice-president of strategy and innovation for Shiplake Properties, a Toronto-based real estate firm. Previously to that, Mr. Brimm served as the chief growth officer at Leap Tool Inc., where he helped build out the businesses capabilities and helped the business achieve significant revenue growth (qualifying for the Deloitte Fast50 for two consecutive years). He has also held various roles working as a portfolio manager for several leading hedge funds in the United States and in Canada, including Relational Investors and West Face Capital Inc., among others. Mr. Brimm holds an MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business with certificates in global management and public management and a BA cum laude in business economics from the University of California at Los Angeles. Mr. Brimm is a member of the CFA institute. Mr. Brimm is based in Toronto, Ont., Canada.

Mr. Brimm was added to the slate following the printing of the meeting materials, and therefore his biography is not included in the circular sent to the company's shareholders in connection with the meeting. Other than in respect of the information included in this press release, the addition of Mr. Brimm would not result in any material changes to the circular. Following the addition of Mr. Brimm to the slate, included herein is certain updated information about the company's director nominees.

Not standing for re-election at the meeting are Mario Di Pietro and Dave MacDonald, who have been directors since the initial public offering and contributed significantly to the development of the company over the last three years.

Given the change to the slate, the company expects to mail a new proxy to shareholders of record in respect of the meeting, which will include Mr. Brimm as a director nominee. As indicated in the proxy and in accordance with applicable law, the securities represented by an applicable proxy will be voted as directed by the holder. However, if such a direction is not made in respect of any matter on the proxy, and the proxy appoints the company's management nominees listed on the proxy as their proxyholder, the proxy will be voted as recommended by the company's management. As such, all shares for which the company's management nominees listed on the proxy are appointed as proxyholder, absent directions to the contrary, will be voted for Mr. Brimm's election.
