Gamehost Inc. (TSX:GH) ("Gamehost" or the "Corporation") announces that the
Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted Gamehost's Notice of Intention to
Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from
time to time, as Gamehost considers advisable, its issued and outstanding common
shares (the "Shares").
There were 23,501,666 Shares issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2014. Of
this amount, 13,182,615 Shares constitute the "public float", calculated in
accordance with the rules of the TSX. Pursuant to the Bid, Gamehost intends to
purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 1,318,262 Shares, being equal to
10% of Gamehost's "public float" outstanding on March 31, 2014. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, pursuant to the rules of the TSX, Gamehost may not purchase more
than 2,402 Shares in any one day, such amount being equal to 25% of the average
daily trading volume of the for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
Purchases under the Bid will be made on the open market only through the
facilities of the TSX. The price that Gamehost will pay for any Shares purchased
by it will be the prevailing market price of the Shares on the TSX at the time
of such purchase. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased under the
Bid for cancellation and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by
Gamehost.
The Bid will commence on April 17, 2014 and will terminate on April 16, 2015 or
such earlier time as the Bid is completed or terminated at the option of
Gamehost.
Management of Gamehost believes that, from time to time, the market price of the
Shares may not fully reflect their underlying value and that at such times the
purchase of Shares would be in the best interests of Gamehost. At times when the
market price does not fully reflect the value of the Shares, such purchases
would increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all
remaining shareholders.
Gamehost purchased 456,350 Shares during the previous 12 months ended March 31,
2014, at a weighted average price of $13.74 per Share (excluding the cost of
commissions).
