Why Change Is Needed Now

Sylogist has attractive assets and predictable demand. But ~67% value destruction since 2019 despite strong market position demands a new direction.

✅ Opportunity

Attractive Characteristics

  • Mission-critical public sector, education, and non-profit markets
  • Recurring revenue base, sticky products, and an improving SaaS mix
  • Should support durable organic growth and cash generation
⚠️ Reality

Strategy Has Destroyed Value

  • ~67% value destruction since 2019 despite strong market position
  • Growth relied on acquisitions, masking weak organic momentum
  • Earnings, margins, and FCF deteriorated despite substantial capital investment
❌ Failure

Board Has Failed at Oversight

  • Approved acquisitions and partner model shifts without a credible plan for organic growth
  • Lacks expertise and capital allocation discipline for turnaround
  • Barry Foster has refused to step down, reinforcing entrenchment
🏆 Solution

Reconstitute the Board

  • Incremental change has not worked — performance hasn't improved since PenderFund's 2023 campaign
  • Shareholders deserve a Board they can trust to select the next CEO
  • Vote for change at the April 7th Special Meeting to restore value

Underperforming Peers on Every Key Metric

Increased Spending, Deteriorating Returns

More capital, absent returns. This is a governance failure.

Spending Exploded

S&M up 11x since CY 2020
R&D up 5x since CY 2020

Growth Did Not Follow

Revenue growth stalled
Growth has been acquisition-driven
Bookings are volatile
SaaS transition failed to accelerate top-line

Returns Deteriorated

Gross margin down ~14pp
Adj. EBITDA margin down ~34pp
FCF margin down ~27pp
Share price down ~67%

Margins and Cash Generation Have Collapsed

Despite 5 acquisitions, EBITDA and FCF have been unable to keep pace with excessive spending.

PROFITABILITY

Spend up, profitability down

6.4x higher combined S&M and R&D investment failed to generate operating leverage or incremental profitability.

CASH FLOW

FCF conversion weakened

FCF margin fell from 35.3% (CY 2020) to 8.5% (LTM Q3 2025) despite higher spend. FCF declined ~60% from $13.7m to $5.3m.

RETURNS

Capital has not cleared hurdles

ROIC down 99pp since 2020. Recent growth dollars have not produced commensurate cash returns.

PenderFund's 3-Year 'Transformation'

After nearly 3 years of PenderFund's transformation process, Sylogist stock has depreciated by more than 50%. Shareholders have lost faith in incremental Board changes.

Mismanaged CEO Transition

Interim CEO Oversaw Years of Failed Strategy as a Director

Craig O'Neill served on the Board during sustained financial decline, lacks transformational skills, and was handpicked by the outgoing Chairman. A meaningful strategic reset requires independent oversight, not internal succession from the existing Board.

Elected Director Aug. 2020 at $11.65
Departed as Director Jun. 2024 at $10.61
Appointed Interim CEO Jan. 28, 2026 at $5.21

Repeated Broken Promises

Rule-of-40 targets have been repeatedly reiterated — and repeatedly missed.

Aug. 2023 "Committed to a Rule-of-40 Posture" Broke below Rule-of-40 in Q4 2023 for 8 straight quarters
Nov. 2023 – Nov. 2024 Low-mid-teens growth; Mid-20s EBITDA margin Single digit growth; Low 20s EBITDA margin — 16.5% Rule-of-40 (below target)

Nov. 2025 Abandoned Rule-of-40 targets entirely Currently a "Rule-of" 12.1% Company (YTD)

The Current Board Lacks Relevant Expertise

Incremental change has not worked. Substantial Board reconstitution is required.

Status Quo

Breakdown in Leadership Accountability

Lack of transformational expertise has allowed problems to persist. Execution failures without accountability.

Misguided and Incoherent Strategy

A venture-like growth-at-any-cost narrative that has failed to generate real growth, coupled with a scattershot partnership strategy.

Undisciplined Capital Allocation

Excessive S&M and R&D spending failed to translate into returns. ROIC deteriorated amid weak discipline.

Required Changes

Strengthened Leadership Accountability

Directors with proven transformation and capital allocation expertise. Clear accountability for performance, including selecting the right CEO.

Focused and Disciplined Strategy

Prioritize EBITDA & FCF margin expansion while maintaining durable growth. Redesign go-to-market and eliminate excessive spending.

Rigorous Capital Stewardship

Every dollar in S&M and R&D accountable to defined outcomes. Comprehensive review of strategic alternatives.

Director Tenure

"Just Finding Our Footing" Is a Symptom of Disengaged Directors

The Board has claimed directors have "only" been there a year and are "finding their footing." It shouldn't take a year or more to learn a company and be effective as a director—that excuse is a symptom of disengaged oversight. Shareholders deserve directors who are ready to govern from day one.

Barry Foster Joined June 2019 — >6 years
Aziz Benmalek Joined June 2024 — ~2 years
J. Kim Fennell Joined Feb 2025 — >1 year

Average tenure of over 3 years—yet the Board still frames inexperience as an excuse. Engaged, accountable directors do not need a year to find their footing.

A Clear Roadmap for Restoring Investor Confidence
