TORONTO, Nov. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dye & Durham Limited (“Dye & Durham” or the “Company”) (TSX: DND) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with an underwriting syndicate led by Scotia Capital Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and BMO Capital Markets (collectively, the “Underwriters”) to complete a new issue (the “Offering”), on a bought deal basis, of an aggregate of 8,600,000 common shares at a purchase price of C$20.35 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$175 million.
