Maxim Power Corp. Announces TSX Acceptance of Normal Course Issuer Bid
12 September 2024 - 10:43AM
Maxim Power Corp. ("
MAXIM" or the
"
Corporation") (TSX: MXG) announced today that it
has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange
("
TSX") to proceed with a normal course issuer bid
("
NCIB"). Under the NCIB, the Corporation may
purchase for cancellation up to 2,529,885 common shares of the
Corporation (the "
Shares"). As at September 3,
2024, MAXIM had 50,597,708 Shares issued and outstanding. As such,
the NCIB represents approximately 5% of MAXIM's issued and
outstanding Shares as at September 3, 2024. The actual number of
Shares that may be purchased for cancellation under the NCIB and
the timing of any such purchases will be determined by MAXIM,
subject to a maximum daily purchase limitation of 1,382 Shares,
which equates to 25% of MAXIM's average daily trading volume of
5,530 Shares for the six months ended August 31, 2024. The
Corporation may make one block purchase per calendar week which
exceeds the daily repurchase restrictions.
The NCIB will commence on September 16,
2024 and may continue to September 15, 2025 or such
earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option
of MAXIM. The Shares will be purchased on behalf of the Corporation
by a registered broker through the facilities of the TSX and/or
alternative Canadian trading systems at the prevailing market price
at the time of such transaction.
In connection with the NCIB, MAXIM intends to
enter into an automatic share purchase plan (the
“ASPP”) effective September 16, 2024 with its
designated broker to allow for the purchase of Shares under the
NCIB at times when MAXIM normally would not be active in the market
due to internal trading black-out periods. Before the commencement
of any particular internal trading black-out period, MAXIM may, but
is not required to, instruct its designated broker to make
purchases of Shares under the NCIB during the ensuing black-out
period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases
will be determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on
parameters established by MAXIM prior to commencement of the
applicable black-out period in accordance with the terms of the
ASPP and applicable TSX rules. Outside of these black-out periods,
Shares will be purchasable by MAXIM at its discretion under the
NCIB.
Management of the Corporation believes that,
from time to time, the market price of the Shares may not fully
reflect the underlying value of the Shares and that at such times
the purchase of Shares would be in the best interests of
shareholders. As a result of such purchases, the number of issued
Shares will be decreased and, consequently, the proportionate share
interest of all remaining shareholders will be increased on a pro
rata basis.
The NCIB follows the expiration of MAXIM's
previous normal course issuer bid, under which MAXIM had approval
from the TSX to purchase up to 2,526,477 Shares, and which was
effective from August 31, 2023 and expired on August 30, 2024.
Under MAXIM’s previous normal course issuer bid, MAXIM completed
the purchase of 312,904 Shares on the TSX and certain alternative
trading systems at a weighted average price of $4.36 per share.
