DRUMMONDVILLE, QC, Nov. 28, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - CVTech Group Inc. ("CVTech" or the "Corporation") (Toronto Stock Exchange: CVT) announces its intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "bid").
Having obtained the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, CVTech may now repurchase, for cancellation purposes, up to 2,500,000 common shares over a 12-month period beginning December 2, 2013 and ending December 1, 2014, which represents, as at November 27, 2013, approximately 3.49% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding common shares calculated on a non diluted basis.
The purchases will be done only through the intermediary of the Toronto Stock Exchange and at the market price at the time of purchase. As at November 27, 2013, there were 71,548,541 common shares issued and outstanding. Within the past 12 months, CVTech has purchased 886,840 of its common shares under another bid at a weighted average price paid per security of $1.16.
Between May 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013, the average daily trading volume for the common shares of CVTech was 62,703 common shares. Therefore, under the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, CVTech has the right to repurchase, for any one trading day, a maximum of 15,675 common shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume.

All repurchases of common shares made by the Corporation will be made solely within the framework of the bid and in conformity with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, there may be directors, insiders or senior officers selling common shares of the Corporation during the term of the bid.
