Pivotree Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid for Common Shares

TORONTO, Aug. 4, 2022 /CNW/ - Pivotree Inc. (TSXV: PVT) ("Pivotree" or the "Company") announces today that it has received TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval to commence a normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB") through the facilities of the TSXV permitting the Company to repurchase, for cancellation, up to 1,617,518 common shares of the Company, representing 10% of the number of common shares of the Company held by "Public Shareholders" (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) and approximately 6% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.

The period during which the Company is authorized to make purchases under the NCIB will commence on August 8, 2022 and will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Company purchasing 1,617,518 common shares, (ii) the Company providing notice of termination of the NCIB, and (iii) 12 months following the NCIB commencement date. Under the NCIB, the Company may not acquire more than 2% of its issued and outstanding common shares in any 30-day period.

The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares does not adequately reflect the Company's underlying value and future prospects and that, at such times, the purchase of the Company's common shares represents an appropriate use of the Company's financial resources and will enhance shareholder value. The funding for any purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be from the working capital of the Company.

The Company has engaged National Bank Financial Inc. ("National Bank") to act as its broker for the NCIB. The NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSXV and the purchase and payment for the common shares will be made in accordance with TSXV requirements at the market price of the common shares at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees, if any, charged by National Bank. All common shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled.

To the Company's knowledge, none of the directors, senior officers or insiders of the Company, or any associate of such person, or any associate or affiliate of the Company, has any present intention to sell any common shares to the Company during the course of the NCIB. The Company has not purchased any of its common shares in the past 12 months through a normal course issuer bid.

A copy of the Form 5G - Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid filed by the Company with the TSXV can be obtained from the Company upon request without charge.
