TORONTO, June 3 /CNW/ - Jaguar Financial Corporation ("Jaguar") (TSX: JFC) today announced that, pursuant to a normal course issuer bid, it intends to purchase a maximum of 7,561,183 of its common shares, being approximately 10% of the public float. Jaguar currently has 106,299,330 common shares issued and outstanding. Purchases may commence on June 7, 2010, and will terminate no later than June 6, 2011.

Purchases of the common shares will be effected through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The purchase and payment for the common shares purchased will be made by Jaguar in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the price which Jaguar will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of such common shares at the time of acquisition.
