Activist investor Engine Capital has nominated a slate of directors Monday at Canadian legal software maker Dye & Durham , according to people familiar with the matter, after the company fielded takeover interest and moved to launch a sale process Engine has described as "reactionary."
Dye & Durham delayed the special meeting twice to December.
Dye & Durham makes a suite of software for law firms and says it has more than 60,000 customers worldwide.
Engine has contended that a sale of the company at this time would "substantially undervalue" the company.
"Dye & Durham has substantially refreshed its Board and has a focused and aligned management team."
