CANACCORD GENUITY GROUP INC. DISCLOSES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
TORONTO, Aug. 19, 2024 /CNW/ - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. (TSX: CF) (the "Company") wishes to announce the filing of a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase common shares of the Company through the facilities of the TSX and on alternative Canadian trading systems in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. The Company has filed a notice for a normal course issuer bid to provide the choice of purchasing up to a maximum of 5,109,453 of its common shares through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems. The purpose of the purchase of common shares under the normal course issuer bid is to enable the Company to acquire shares for cancellation, and any shares acquired will be cancelled. The shares that may be repurchased represent 5% of the Company's outstanding common shares. As of August 7, 2024, there were 102,189,077 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding.
Purchases under the normal course issuer bid are at the discretion of the Company and are expected to be able to commence on August 21, 2024 and can continue for one year (to August 20, 2025). The maximum consideration will be the market price of the securities at the time of acquisition. Subject to the once per calendar week block purchase exemption, the daily purchases are limited to 30,336 common shares of the Company (which is 25% of the average daily trading volume (ADTV) of common shares of the Company on the TSX in the six calendar months from February 2024 to July 2024 of 121,347 common shares).
The Company has entered into a pre-defined plan with a designated broker to allow for the repurchase of its common shares under this normal course issuer bid. The Company's broker may repurchase the common shares under the plan on any trading day during the normal course issuer bid, including during the Company's internal trading blackout periods. The plan has been reviewed by the TSX and will terminate on the earlier of the termination of the plan by the Company in accordance with its terms and the expiry of the bid.
The Company previously maintained a normal course issuer bid for the twelve-month period commencing on August 21, 2023 and ending on August 20, 2024 under which the Company sought and received approved from the TSX to purchase up to 4,985,290 of its common shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has not purchased any common shares under its previous normal course issuer bid.
