Base Carbon Inc. (Cboe CA: BCBN) (OTCQX: BCBNF) with operations
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Base Carbon Capital Partners
Corp. (together, with affiliates, “
Base Carbon”,
or the “
Company”), announced today that Cboe
Canada has approved the Company’s renewed normal course issuer bid
(“
NCIB”) to purchase, for cancellation, up to
7,571,314 of Base Carbon’s common shares (“
Common
Shares”).
The Company’s current normal course issuer bid
will end on June 20, 2024, and pursuant to the renewed NCIB, Base
Carbon may purchase over a period of 12 months starting June
21, 2024, and ending June 20, 2025, up to 7,571,314 Common
Shares representing approximately 6.5% of the 115,995,334 issued
and outstanding Common Shares and 10% of the Company’s public float
as of June 17, 2024. On any given day during the NCIB, Base Carbon
may purchase up to 49,709 Common Shares which is equivalent to 25%
of the average daily trading volume of 198,834 for the previous six
months, which excludes purchases made under the current normal
course issuer bid. Block trades for a greater number of Common
Shares may be made once per calendar week.
Purchases under the NCIB may commence as
of June 21, 2024 and will end on the earlier of:
(i) June 20, 2025; or (ii) the date on which Base Carbon has
purchased the maximum number of Common Shares which may be acquired
under the NCIB. The purchases made will be done in accordance with
the rules of Cboe Canada, through the facilities of Cboe Canada or
through alternative trading systems. The actual number of Common
Shares which will be purchased, and the timing and price of such
purchases will be determined by the Company in accordance with Cboe
Canada’s Listing Manual and guidelines. Common Shares purchased
under the NCIB will be returned to treasury for cancellation. As of
June 17, 2024, the Company had purchased 4,702,702 Common Shares
under its existing NCIB.
The Board of Directors of the Company believes
that the market price of the Common Shares may from time to time
not reflect the underlying value of Base Carbon, including its
growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its
Common Shares through the NCIB is in the best interests of the
Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds.
The Company has also entered into an automatic
share purchase plan ("ASPP") with a broker in
order to facilitate repurchases of Common Shares pursuant to the
NCIB. During the effective period of Base Carbon's ASPP, Base
Carbon's broker may purchase Common Shares at times when the
Company would not be active in the market due to insider trading
rules and its own internal trading blackout periods. Purchases will
be made by the Company's broker based upon parameters set by the
Company when it is not in possession of any material non-public
information about itself and its securities, and in accordance with
the terms of the ASPP. Outside of the effective period of the ASPP,
Common Shares may continue to be purchased pursuant to Base
Carbon's discretion, subject to applicable law. The ASPP has been
entered into in accordance with the requirements of applicable
Canadian securities laws.
