Dye & Durham stock (TSX:DND) has added more than 25 per cent after the legal practice management software provider announced a strategic review to maximize shareholder value. According to Wednesday’s news release, the board will consider “a sale of the company, asset sales, recapitalizations or potential mergers” during its due diligence process.

The review has led to a cooperation agreement with major shareholder Plantro, a company with ties to former chief executive officer Matt Proud, to withdraw its special meeting requisition to refresh the board of directors.
The agreement will also see David Danziger, CPA, CA, appointed to the Dye & Durham board, in addition to chairing a newly formed special committee to lead the strategic review. Danziger previously served as senior vice president, assurance, and national leader of public companies at MNP LLP, Canada’s fifth-largest accounting firm, where he continues to serve as a senior advisor. He has lent his extensive audit, accounting, M&A and management consulting expertise as a board member of numerous technology, mining and life sciences companies listed on the TSX, TSXV, CSE and NYSE.
Dye & Durham will look to reverse steep losses over the past two years, including C$174.98 million in FY2024 and C$170.64 million in FY2023, in addition to three loss-making quarters in FY2025, guided by a turnaround plan detailed in the Q3 2025 news release focused on customer trust, product optimization and right-sizing market presence.
