Thunderbird Announces Commencement of Normal Course Issuer Bid
December 01 2023 - 4:01PM
Business Wire
Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV: TBRD, OTCQX:
THBRF) (“Thunderbird” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has received approval from the TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) of its Notice of Intention to Make
a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB”).
Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to
3,418,509 common shares (the “Shares”) (representing
approximately 10% of its public float of 34,185,095 Shares as of
December 1, 2023) over a twelve-month period commencing on December
7, 2023. The NCIB will expire no later than December 6, 2024.
Thunderbird believes that from time to time, the market price of
its Shares may not reflect their underlying value and that the
purchase of its Shares will enhance shareholder value and increase
liquidity. The Company intends to fund the purchases out of
available cash.
All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made through the
facilities of the TSXV. The NCIB will be made in accordance with
the applicable rules and policies of the TSXV and applicable
Canadian securities laws. The price that Thunderbird will pay for
Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the
time of purchase. Any Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will
be cancelled. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased and
the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company.
Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions,
share price, best use of available cash, and other factors.
Thunderbird has appointed Cormark Securities Inc. to make
purchases under the NCIB on its own behalf.
