Dye & Durham's Ex-CFO Urges Sale After Stock Drops, Debt Mounts
A former senior executive and shareholder of Canadian technology firm Dye & Durham Ltd. is asking the board to consider a full sale of the company, citing a plunge in shareholder value and growing competitive pressures. Ronnie Wahi, who was chief financial officer until 2018, criticized the company's strategic direction in a letter sent to directors on Thursday, saying nearly C$1 billion in equity value has been lost under the current board. Shares of Dye & Durham have dropped about 55% over the past six months, giving the company a market capitalization of approximately C$650 million. The firm has struggled to attract new investors and trim its debt levels, according to Wahi, which has soured market sentiment on the stock. Long-term debt was C$1.6 billion as of March, up from C$1.3 billion two years earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Dye & Durham and Wahi did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 'It is difficult to see how the company can unlock shareholder value as a public entity within a reasonable time frame,' wrote Wahi, who's also a former board member. He urged directors to 'consider a full sale process to provide shareholders with alternatives and the opportunity to realize the present value of their investment.' The current board came to power following a contentious proxy fight last year that led to the departure of then-Chief Executive Officer Matthew Proud. Dissident shareholders led by New York-based Engine Capital rallied enough support to replace a majority of the board and install new leadership committed to restoring credibility and financial discipline. Engine's founder, Arnaud Ajdler, became the chair. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Create Account While homes in the Greater Toronto Area aren't exactly selling at lightning speed these days, certain types of homes are selling much quicker than others. According to recent analysis by digital real estate platform Wahi, homebuyers in the GTA are showing a clear preference for three-bedroom single-family homes, which are selling faster than other property types. Despite a chillier start to Toronto's spring real estate market, these family-sized homes are in high demand, particularly in certain neighbourhoods. Looking at home sales data from the first quarter of 2025, Wahi found that three-bedroom single-family homes — which include detached, semi-detached, and townhouses — sold in an average of 23 days. This pace outstrips that of two-bedroom homes and even larger four-bedroom properties. Note that these numbers could be influenced by the mix of housing available.

Neighbourhoods had to meet a threshold of at least five sales of a given housing type (for example, three-bedroom single-family homes) to be considered in the analysis. Depending on the neighbourhood, the demand for these property types was stronger. In 48 neighbourhoods, for example, three-bedroom homes sold in two weeks or less, while only seven neighbourhoods saw two-bedroom homes selling at a similar speed, and 37 neighbourhoods had four-bedroom houses selling as quickly. This suggests that buyers are prioritizing family-sized homes, possibly due to a combination of affordability and sufficient living space in which to raise a family. This trend aligns with findings from Wahi's 2024 Great Canadian Dream Home Survey, which indicated that nearly two-thirds of Canadians prefer single-family homes, with three bedrooms being the most popular choice. However, the scarcity of accessible family-sized housing is a growing concern. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Research from the Missing Middle Initiative and Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Urban Research and Land Development suggests that the lack of suitable housing options is driving more homebuyers out of the GTA in search of more affordable and spacious accommodations in other Ontario markets. Condos remain the slowest-selling property type. In the first quarter of 2025, condos were on the market an average of 36 days before selling —11 days longer than single-family homes. Those with two or fewer bedrooms took 37 days to sell, on average, while three- and four-bedroom condos took 34 days. For prospective homebuyers and sellers, it's important to understand current market dynamics to inform a buying or selling strategy. Those selling three-bedroom homes in high-demand neighbourhoods may be at an advantage, while buyers should be prepared for more competitive bidding in these areas. Conversely, those interested in smaller or larger homes, or condos, might find there's more room for negotiation.

‘They demand more effort in training and matches' – Elye Wahi compares Bundesliga to Ligue 1
'They demand more effort in training and matches' – Elye Wahi compares Bundesliga to Ligue 1 Elye Wahi (22) has given his first impressions on the differences between football in the Bundesliga compared to Ligue 1 in an interview with L'Équipe. The young striker joined the Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt during the winter transfer window after he was sold by Olympique de Marseille only six months on from his arrival at the French club. Advertisement Previous to his short stint in Marseille where he registered three goals and one assist in 14 games, Wahi had plyed his trade at RC Lens for a season and before that with his formative club Montpellier HSC who provided him with his debut in a match against FC Metz. Four clubs in three seasons have given Wahi a broad breadth of experience at a tender age, and talking to L'Équipe he spoke about the culture shock of experiencing German football. 'It's very fast,' he laughed. 'There's more space so it's better for the attackers, especially for me because I'm quite fast and can get deep.' He also added that the differences were not limited to just games, 'Even in training it's completely different. The coach wants us to constantly run and press. It's a different mentality – it's no longer the French mentality, I'm learning.' Asked to explain what the German mentality is, Wahi stated, 'They demand more effort in training or matches. You have to be constantly focused. That's the hallmark of the big leagues. I'm not saying it's superior to France, but it's different.' GFFN | Nick Hartland
