Mattr Corp. (“
Mattr” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: MATR), today announced that the
Toronto Stock Exchange (the “
TSX”) has approved
the Company’s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer
bid (the “
NCIB”) for common shares of the Company
(the “
Common Shares”).
Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may purchase
for cancellation up to 4,982,824 Common Shares, representing
approximately 10% of the Company’s public float as at June 14,
2024. As at the date hereof, the Company has 66,372,274 Common
Shares issued and outstanding. The NCIB will commence on June 28,
2024 and terminate one year after its commencement, or earlier if
the maximum is reached or the NCIB is terminated at the option of
the Company. The Company believes that using the NCIB to return
capital to its shareholders will increase shareholder value and
further the returns of the Company.
All purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be made
through the facilities of the TSX, or such other permitted means
(including through alternative trading systems in Canada, including
NEO-N, NEO-L, NEO-D, Crossing Facility, CSE, ICX, Liquidnet, CXC,
CX2, CXD, Omega ATS, Lynx ATS, TSX Venture Exchange, TSX Alpha
Exchange and MATCH Now (together, the “Other
Exchanges”)), at prevailing market prices or as otherwise
permitted. The NCIB will be funded using existing cash resources
and any Common Shares repurchased by the Company under the NCIB
will be cancelled. Other than purchases made under a block purchase
exemption pursuant to the rules and policies of the TSX, daily
purchases on the TSX pursuant to the NCIB will be limited to 30,099
Common Shares, which represents approximately 25% of the average
daily trading volume of 120,397 Common Shares of the Company for
the most recently completed six calendar months preceding May 31,
2024.
The actual number of Common Shares which may be
purchased pursuant to the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases
will be determined by the Company, subject to applicable law and
the rules of the TSX and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if
eligible, to the extent made through such facilities.
In connection with the NCIB, the Company has
entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the
“Plan”) with a designated broker (the
“Broker”) in order to facilitate repurchases of
its outstanding Common Shares under the NCIB. The Plan has been
approved by the TSX and will be implemented effective as of June
28, 2024.
Under the Plan, the Broker may purchase Common
Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily
not be permitted to, due to its self-imposed regular quarterly
black-out periods or special black-out periods. Before the
commencement of any particular internal trading black-out period,
the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the Broker to
make purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB during the ensuing
black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Such
purchases will be determined by the Broker based on parameters
established by the Company prior to commencement of the applicable
black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan and
applicable TSX rules and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if
eligible, to the extent made through such facilities. Outside of
these black-out periods, Common Shares will continue to be
purchasable by the Company and the Broker at the Company’s
discretion under the NCIB.
Under the Company’s previous NCIB commencing
June 28, 2023, the Company purchased for cancellation a total of
3,442,233 Common Shares, being the maximum number of Common Shares
it was authorized to repurchase, through the facilities of the TSX
or by such other permitted means, for an aggregate repurchase price
of approximately $52,216,000 and at a volume weighted average
purchase price of $15.1591 per Common Share. The previous NCIB
terminated on December 19, 2023, the date the maximum purchase
limit had been reached.
