CALGARY, Dec. 2 /CNW/ - Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX: DZR) announces that it has filed notice with The Toronto Stock Exchange ("the Exchange") to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid"), to purchase through the facilities of the Exchange, from time to time, as it considers advisable, up to 858,000 of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (being approximately 1% of the 85,878,252 Common Shares outstanding at December 2, 2010).
The Bid will commence on December 6, 2010 and terminate on the earlier of December 5, 2011 or the date on which Diaz acquires all of the shares sought pursuant to the Bid. The price which Diaz will pay for any shares purchased through the Bid will be the prevailing market price of such shares on the Exchange at the time of purchase. Any shares acquired by Diaz pursuant to the Bid will be cancelled. The average trading volume for Diaz during the prior six month period of June 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010 was 67,767 shares per day. The daily purchase limitation of the new Bid is 25% of the average daily trading volume during the prior six month period which results in a limit of 16,941 shares per day.
Pursuant to a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the Exchange that commenced on December 1, 2009, during the prior 12 months Diaz purchased 138,000 Common Shares at an average cost of $0.11 per share. All shares were purchased on the Exchange and have been cancelled.
The purchase of Common Shares by Diaz will increase the proportionate interest of all remaining shareholders in the Corporation. Diaz believes that this will be advantageous to the remaining shareholders.
