BrightPath Early Learning Inc. Announces TSX Approval for Notice of Intention to Make Normal Course Issuer Bid
CALGARY, Sept. 9, 2014 /CNW/ - BrightPath Early Learning Inc. ("BrightPath" or the "Corporation"), TSXV: BPE announces that the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") has accepted the Corporation's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") in the open market. BrightPath may purchase up to a maximum of 6,085,965 common shares, which represents five percent of the Corporation's current issued and outstanding common shares. BrightPath will commence open market purchases of its shares immediately upon the approval of the NCIB by the TSXV, on September 9, 2014, and terminate any such purchases on or before September 8, 2015. The Corporation may purchase up to, but not more than, two percent of its issued and outstanding common shares in any 30 day period during the term of the NCIB. The Corporation will not purchase more than 11,610 common shares on the same trading day, which represents 25 percent of the average daily trading volume of the common shares during the last six months. The Corporation has 121,719,316 common shares outstanding.
Cormark Securities of Toronto, Ontario has been appointed by BrightPath as its broker to facilitate the open market purchases of its shares pursuant to the NCIB. All purchases of shares under the NCIB will be undertaken through the facilities of the TSXV at the prevailing current market price of the shares of the Corporation as traded on the TSXV.
As outlined in the Corporation's news release dated July 31, 2014, the board of directors of BrightPath is of the view that current market prices undervalue the Corporation's common shares. In this light, the board of directors has begun to consider various options to enhance shareholder value and liquidity including, as one option, the NCIB. BrightPath believes that the repurchase of the shares represents a sound business decision for the Corporation and, in addition to the foregoing, will foster a more orderly market for its shares. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Shareholders of BrightPath will be advised of the NCIB in the next quarterly report of the Corporation to be mailed, as applicable, to shareholders and filed on SEDAR. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid from BrightPath without charge.
