In a recent press release, iolite Capital Management AG, a Swiss investment manager, announced their intention to call for a special meeting of Dynacor Group Inc.’s shareholders. iolite, which holds over 10% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company, has requested the current board of directors to convene the meeting. However, the Board has yet to comply with this request.
The Background

This could result in significant costs and distractions for the Company, potentially harming its operations and investor confidence.
