Till Capital Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
April 05 2018 - 4:17PM
Till Capital Ltd. (Nasdaq:TIL) (TSX.V:TIL) (the
“
Company” or “
Till”), announces
that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”) has accepted the
Company’s notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid
(“
NCIB”).
Under the new NCIB, Till Capital intends to bid
for up to 246,240 common shares, representing 10% of the 2,462,425
shares forming Till's public float. As at March 31, 2018, there
were 3,290,884 shares of Till outstanding.
The board of directors of the Company believes
that the current and recent market prices for the Company's common
shares do not give full effect to their underlying value and that,
accordingly, the purchase of common shares under the NCIB will
increase the proportionate share interest of, and be advantageous
to, all remaining shareholders. The Company also believes the NCIB
purchases will provide increased liquidity to current shareholders
who would like to sell their shares. Purchased shares will be
returned to treasury and cancelled. The bid will commence no
earlier than three trading days following receipt of approval of
the TSXV and will terminate one year from such date, or such
earlier time as the applicable bid is completed or at the option of
the Company. Purchases subject to the bid will be carried out
pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the
“TSX.V” by Canaccord Genuity on behalf of Till.
Under a prior normal course issuer bid, which
commenced on December 7, 2016 and expired on December 6, 2017, Till
purchased 59,400 common shares through open market purchases, all
of which have been returned to treasury.
