Alamos Gold Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid
December 19 2024 - 5:55AM
Alamos Gold Inc. (
TSX:AGI;
NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today announced that
it has filed with, and received acceptance from the Toronto Stock
Exchange (“TSX”) of, a Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course
Issuer Bid permitting Alamos to purchase for cancellation up to
18,605,661 Class A Common Shares (“Common Shares”), representing 5%
of the Company’s public float of the Common Shares, outstanding as
at December 13, 2024. This represents approximately 4.4% of the
Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, as at
December 13, 2024. The Company’s public float was 372,113,224
Common Shares and total issued and outstanding Common Shares was
420,282,115 Common Shares.
Alamos may purchase Common Shares under the
Normal Course Issuer Bid over the twelve-month period beginning
December 24, 2024 and ending December 23, 2025. Any purchases made
under the Normal Course Issuer Bid will be effected through the
facilities of the TSX, alternative Canadian trading systems and/or
the New York Stock Exchange. The maximum number of Common Shares
that Alamos may purchase on the TSX on a daily basis, other than
pursuant to block purchase exceptions, is 191,171 Common
Shares.
The price for any repurchased Common Shares will
be the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase. All
Common Shares purchased by Alamos will be cancelled. Purchase and
payment for the Common Shares will be made by Alamos in accordance
with the requirements of the TSX and applicable securities
laws.
A Normal Course Issuer Bid is being undertaken
as the Company and its Board of Directors believe the price of its
Common Shares from time to time to be not reflective of the
underlying value of the Company. The Company believes it is
advantageous to its shareholders to engage in repurchases of Common
Shares, from time to time, when they are trading at prices which
reflect a discount from their value by increasing the proportionate
share of ownership of the Company to remaining shareholders. Under
its previous Normal Course Issuer Bid which commenced on December
24, 2023 and will terminate on December 23, 2024, Alamos sought the
purchase of up to 34,485,405 Common Shares and no purchases were
made.
