COLABOR GROUP ANNOUNCES NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S./
BOUCHERVILLE, QC, Oct. 25 /CNW Telbec/ - Colabor Group Inc. (TSX: GCL) ("Colabor") announces today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted Colabor's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Notice") to purchase some of its outstanding ordinary shares ("Shares") through the facilities of the TSX for a period of twelve months ending on October 27, 2011. Up to 500,000 Shares, representing approximately 2.9% of the public float of the Shares on October 14, 2010, may be purchased under the bid. As of October 14, 2010, 22,956,492 Shares are issued and outstanding, of which 17,513,339 are comprised in the public float. Daily repurchases (other than through the block purchase exception) will be limited to 13,808 Shares. The purchases may commence on October 28, 2010 and may extend to October 27, 2011 or on such earlier date as Colabor may complete its purchases pursuant to the Notice or otherwise terminate the bid. The number of Shares that Colabor intends to repurchase and the time of such repurchases will be determined by Colabor, at its discretion.
In the opinion of Colabor's management, this normal course issuer bid is justified by the fact that the Shares might be undervalued on the market from time to time with regard to Colabor's financial position and future prospects and that the purchase thereof by Colabor is an appropriate use of its funds.
All the Shares acquired under the bid will be purchased through the facilities of the TSX in accordance with its requirements. All Shares acquired will automatically be cancelled. The Shares will be purchased at their market price at the time of the acquisition. Colabor has not purchased any Shares during the twelve-month period ending October 28, 2010.
