Gibson Energy Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid
16 September 2024 - 10:00PM
Gibson Energy Inc. (“Gibson” or the “Company”), (TSX: GEI),
announced today the renewal of its Normal Course Issuer Bid
(“NCIB”).
Gibson’s Board of Directors has approved a
renewal of the Company’s NCIB, and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
“TSX”) has accepted Gibson’s notice of intention to commence its
NCIB for an additional one-year period. This enables the Company to
purchase and cancel up to 7.5% or 9,958,026 of the public float for
the issued and outstanding common shares as of September 11, 2024
over the next 12 months commencing September 18, 2024 in accordance
with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and applicable
securities laws. As of September 11, 2024, the Company had
162,758,103 common shares issued and outstanding.
Under the NCIB, common shares may be repurchased
in open market transactions on the TSX, and/or other Canadian
alternative trading platforms. In accordance with the rules of the
TSX governing a NCIB, the total number of common shares the Company
is permitted to purchase is subject to a daily purchase limit of
132,241 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily
trading volume of common shares on the TSX calculated for the
six-month period ended August 31, 2024. The NCIB will terminate at
the earlier of September 17, 2025 and the date on which the maximum
number of common shares that can be acquired pursuant to the NCIB
have been purchased.
The price that Gibson will pay for common shares
in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of
purchase. Gibson continues to believe that the availability of a
NCIB will enable the Company to maximize return to shareholders.
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, if any,
and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Gibson
based on several factors, including the continued adherence to its
Financial Governing Principles. Gibson did not purchase any common
shares under its normal course issuer bid that commenced on
September 15, 2023 and ended on September 14, 2024 (the “Prior
NCIB”). 9,812,193 common shares were approved for purchase under
the Prior NCIB.
The Company has renewed its automatic purchase
plan with its broker, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., to facilitate
purchases of its common shares. The automatic purchase plan allows
for purchases by the Company of its common shares at any time,
including, without limitation, when the Company would ordinarily
not be permitted to make purchases due to regulatory restriction or
self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Gibson’s
broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the
terms of the parties’ written agreement.
