- All $ are CAD
Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. (the
"Company") (TSX: CF) wishes to announce the filing of a normal
course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase common shares of the Company
through the facilities of the TSX and on alternative Canadian
trading systems in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. The
Company has filed a notice for a normal course issuer bid to
provide the choice of purchasing up to a maximum of 5,677,589 of
its common shares through the facilities of the TSX or alternative
Canadian trading systems. The purpose of the purchase of common
shares under the normal course issuer bid is to enable the Company
to acquire shares for cancellation, and any shares acquired will be
cancelled. The shares that may be repurchased represent 5.0% of the
Company's outstanding common shares. As of July 31, 2018, there were 113,551,789 common
shares of the Company issued and outstanding. The Company
previously commenced a bid on August 15,
2017 to purchase up to a maximum of 5,675,573 of its common
shares and to date has purchased 106,400 common shares for
cancellation under the bid at a volume weighted average price of
approximately $7.01 per common
share.
The Company has also entered into a pre-defined plan with a
designated broker to allow for the repurchase of its common shares
under this normal course issuer bid. The Company's broker may
repurchase the common shares under the plan on any trading day
during the normal course issuer bid, including during the Company's
internal trading blackout periods. The plan has been reviewed by
the Toronto Stock Exchange and will terminate on the earlier of the
termination of the plan by the Company in accordance with its terms
and the expiry of the bid.
Purchases under the normal course issuer bid are expected to be
able to commence on August 15, 2018
and will continue for one year (to August
14, 2019). The maximum consideration will be the market
price of the securities at the time of acquisition. Subject to the
once per calendar week block purchase exemption, the daily
purchases are limited to 60,212 common shares of the Company (which
is 25% of the average daily trading volume of common shares of the
Company on the TSX (ADTV) in the six calendar months from
February 2018 to July 2018 (25% of the ADTV of 240,851)).
