Notes
Two-page BusinessWire-format press release embedding a letter to the DND Board signed by Managing Partner Arnaud Ajdler. Pure procedural/governance escalation within an ongoing Canadian proxy fight — no investment thesis, valuation, or KPIs are argued; SCQA and thesis fields intentionally null. Calls out CEO Matthew Proud by name and questions independence of Board counsel due to his friendship with Proud. References a prior March 10, 2024 requisition and a July 2024 settlement proposal that went unanswered. No charts, no branding beyond plain text.
