EDMONTON, May 30, 2018 /CNW/ - McCoy Global
Inc. ("McCoy", "McCoy Global" or "the Corporation")
(TSX:MCB) today announced that that it has received approval from
the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") to undertake a proposed
normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") to purchase up to 1,379,041
common shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of McCoy.
McCoy's management and Board of Directors believe that the
current market price of its common shares does not represent the
underlying value of the Company, and has determined that the
repurchase of its common shares is a desirable use of funds and in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Purchases under the Bid will be made through the facilities of
the TSX or any Canadian alternative trading system. The period of
the Bid will extend from June 5, 2018
to June 4, 2019, or an earlier date
should McCoy complete its purchases. All common shares purchased
under the Bid will be cancelled. The actual number of common shares
purchased, the time of purchases, and the price at which the common
shares will be acquired will depend on future market
conditions.
As at May 23, 2018, 27,580,839
common shares of McCoy were issued and outstanding. Under the rules
of the TSX and subject to certain exemptions for block purchases,
the maximum number of common shares that the Company may purchase
on any one trading day is 2,241 common shares, representing 25% of
the average daily trading volume of 8,966 common shares for the
previous six calendar months.
The Company previously announced a normal course issuer bid (the
"Previous Bid") on May 19, 2017,
which expired on May 23, 2018. Under
the Previous Bid, 123,400 common shares were repurchased through
the facilities of the TSX and subsequently cancelled.
