Crescita Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: CTX) (OTC US: CRRTF) (“Crescita” or the “Company”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has approved the Company’s proposed normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to a maximum of 1,821,616 common shares (“Common Shares”) for cancellation, representing approximately 10% of its public float as of August 18, 2023, as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time. As of August 27, 2023, the Company had 20,374,153 issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Crescita’s management and board of directors believe that the current market price of the Common Shares may not represent the underlying value of the Company and has determined that, subject to future price movements and other factors, the repurchase of such Common Shares may be a desirable use of funds and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX or through a Canadian alternative trading system and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements at a price per Common Share representative of the market price at the time of acquisition. The number of Common Shares that can be purchased pursuant to the NCIB is subject to a current daily maximum of 3,661 Common Shares (which is equal to 25% of 14,646 being the average daily trading volume from February 1, 2023 through to July 31, 2023), subject to the Company’s ability to make one block purchase of Common Shares per calendar week that exceeds such limits. All Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase. The Company intends to fund the purchases from its available resources.

The Company may begin to purchase Common Shares on August 31, 2023 and the NCIB will terminate on August 30, 2024 or such earlier time as the Company completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB or provides notice of termination. The Company has also entered into an automatic securities purchase plan in connection with its NCIB that contains strict parameters regarding how its Common Shares may be repurchased during times when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. The automatic securities purchase plan is effective immediately.

Pursuant to the Company’s previous normal course issuer bid that commenced on December 17, 2021 and ended on December 16, 2022, 663,600 Common Shares at a weighted average price of $0.66 per share were purchased. Purchases were made on behalf of the Company by its broker through the facilities of the TSX. Crescita was permitted to acquire up to 1,000,000 Common Shares under its previous normal course issuer bid.
