Exco Technologies Limited Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
February 15 2024 - 7:00AM
Exco Technologies Limited (TSX:
XTC) ("Exco" or the "Company") today announced that the Toronto
Stock Exchange ("TSX") has approved the Company's normal course
issuer bid ("NCIB"). Under the NCIB, Exco has the right to purchase
for cancellation, from February 20, 2024 to February 19, 2025, a
maximum of 1,780,000 common shares, representing 10% of the
17,801,394 shares forming Exco's public float as at February 7,
2024. As of February 7, 2024, Exco had 38,861,212 common shares
issued and outstanding.
Any shares purchased by Exco under the NCIB will
be effected through the facilities of TSX as well as on alternative
Canadian trading systems, at prevailing market rates and any common
shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled. The actual
number of shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such
purchases will be determined by Exco. Any purchases made by Exco
pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules and
policies of the TSX.
During the most recently-completed six months,
the average daily trading volume for the common shares of Exco on
the TSX was 14,101 shares. Consequently, under the policies of the
TSX, Exco will have the right to repurchase under its NCIB, during
any one trading day, a maximum of 3,525 shares, representing 25% of
the average daily trading volume. In addition, Exco will be allowed
to make, once per calendar week, a block purchase (as such term is
defined in the TSX Company Manual) of shares not directly or
indirectly owned by insiders of Exco, in accordance with the TSX
policies. Exco will fund the purchases through available cash
and/or bank facilities. Pursuant to a previous notice of intention
to conduct a normal course issuer bid, under which Company sought
and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 1,785,000
common shares for the period of February 20, 2023 to February 19,
2024, the Company purchased 51,252 common shares on the open market
as of February 7, 2024 at a weighted average purchase price of
$7.50 per common share.
Exco’s Board of Directors believes the
underlying value of the Company may not be reflected in the market
price of its common shares from time to time and that, at
appropriate times, repurchasing its shares through the NCIB may
represent a good use of Exco's financial resources, as such action
can protect and enhance shareholder value when opportunities or
volatility arise. Thus, the Board has determined that the NCIB is
in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
