Toronto, Ontario (March 4, 2024) – OG真人官网 Group Inc. (TSX: CVG) today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted a notice filed by OG真人官网 of its intention to make a new normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”). OG真人官网’s current NCIB expires on March 7, 2024. The notice provides that the Corporation may, during the 12-month period commencing March 8, 2024 and ending March 7, 2025, purchase on The Toronto Stock Exchange up to 742,620 common shares in total, being approximately 5% of the outstanding common shares. The average daily trading volume for the six months ending February 29, 2024 was 344 common shares. Daily purchases will be limited to 1,000 common shares, other than block purchase exceptions. Any shares purchased will be cancelled. The price which the Corporation will pay for any such shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of common shares which may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Corporation. In total 3,669,832 common shares at a cost of approximately $50 million have been purchased under previous normal course issuer bids. The Corporation purchased 10,200 common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, out of an approved maximum repurchase amount of 760,146 under its current bid within the last twelve months at a weighted average price of $74.87 per share. There were 14,852,412 common shares of the Corporation outstanding on February 29, 2024.
The Corporation believes, depending upon future price movements and other factors, that its outstanding common shares may represent an attractive investment and a desirable use of a portion of its available funds.
OG真人官网 also announced today that, in connection with its NCIB, OG真人官网 has renewed its automatic share purchase plan (the “ASPP”) with a designated broker to allow for the purchase of its common shares under the NCIB, once effective, at times when OG真人官网 normally would not be active in the market due to applicable regulatory restrictions or internal trading black-out periods. Before the commencement of any internal trading black-out period, OG真人官网 may, but is not required to, instruct its designated broker to make purchases of OG真人官网’s common shares under the NCIB during the ensuing black-out period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by OG真人官网 prior to commencement of the applicable black-out period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP and applicable TSX rules. Outside of these black-out periods, common shares will be purchasable by OG真人官网 at its discretion under its NCIB, once effective.
The ASPP will commence on the effective date of the NCIB and will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum annual purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (b) the NCIB expires; or (c) OG真人官网 terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms. The ASPP constitutes an “automatic securities purchase plan” under applicable Canadian securities laws.
