This follows Fairfax’s $250 million injection into the company in the form of a debt purchase. The firm’s largest shareholder is showing increased confidence in the mobile company’s future after having led a group of investors that injected $1 billion into the company last fall.

The current Chief Executive has eased out several directors and is now shaking up the firm’s operations in a quest to up their notch meanwhile; BlackBerry has announced a handset deal with Foxconn.
