• ISS and Glass Lewis, independent third-party proxy advisory firms, both recommend that shareholders vote on the GOLD proxy only, AGAINST expanding the board and AGAINST electing Robert Leitz.
• The deadline to submit GOLD management proxies is April 11, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. (ET).

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynacor Group Inc. (TSX: DNG) (“Dynacor” or the "Corporation"), today reminds the Corporation’s shareholders of the importance of voting ahead of the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”). Dynacor recommends that shareholders, no matter how many shares they own, vote using their GOLD form of proxy or voting instruction form (together, the “Gold Proxy”) to protect the value and stability of their investment and prevent dissident shareholder Robert Leitz, through his company iolite Capital AG (the “Dissident”), from pursuing his private agenda against the Corporation.

Time is of Essence. Vote using the Gold Proxy today to support Dynacor, before April 11 at 5:00 p.m. (ET)

Shareholders are encouraged to read Dynacor’s management information circular, the reminder letter to shareholders recently mailed to shareholders, and to visit https://dynacor.com/special-meeting/ for more details about how a dissident shareholder is trying to impose a self-serving nominee on Dynacor’s board of directors. The Dissident’s nominee’s experience is not additive to the board, and his behaviour has caused him to lose the trust of Dynacor’s existing board members.

Dynacor’s Board – A Dynamic Steward of Company Value

Dynacor’s seasoned board of directors provides a healthy mix of fresh perspectives, historical continuity, and investor input. Their purposeful and responsible oversight is evidenced by Dynacor’s multi-year track record and by the disciplined roll-out of its international expansion plan.

• Board bench strength – The existing board is strong, engaged and diverse, with a balanced mix of experience, skills, and leadership expertise to execute the Corporation’s strategy and enhance value for all stakeholders.
• Director renewal – Over the past two years, in response to the growth in the company and in an effort to maintain highest levels of governance, Dynacor has added or changed two out of eight directors, a 25% renewal rate.
• Enviable track record – The current Board of Directors has a proven track record of being a dynamic steward of company value - delivering results, not empty promises.
• Independent, international endorsement – Glass Lewis and ISS, leading independent proxy advisory firms, both highlight Dynacor’s long-term efficacy and strategic credibility, with Glass Lewis noting “an accelerated amplification of iolite’s demands, which, in our view, fails to persuasively scale with the board’s historical stewardship and oversight.”
• The Dissident Nominee and his Disruptive Behaviour – The Dissident nominee’s experience is not additive to the board, and he has no experience on the boards of publicly traded companies. He had no insight into company private negotiations and only a cursory understanding of the capital needed by Dynacor’s operating model. Despite this, he has attempted to sow disarray with Dynacor’s investors and shareholders, by wilfully and publicly downplaying the Corporation’s need for a financing, denigrating its market terms, and calling for an unnecessary, costly special meeting of shareholders just two months before the Corporation’s annual general meeting of shareholders. As he has lost the trust of management and the board, his election to the board would make for an unharmonious board.

Vote Using Only the GOLD Proxy No Matter How Many Shares You Own.

Shareholders are urged to vote the Dynacor management GOLD Proxy well in advance of the voting deadline of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on Friday, April 11, 2025. The Meeting is scheduled to take place on April 16, 2025.

Due to the essence of time, Shareholders are urged to vote online by following the instructions found on the GOLD Proxy. Disregard any blue proxy or voting instruction form that you may received from the Dissident.
