MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 18,
2024 /CNW/ - Morguard Corporation (TSX: MRC)
("Morguard") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
"TSX") has accepted a notice filed by Morguard of its intention to
make a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX
and/or alternative Canadian trading systems.
The notice provides that Morguard may, during the twelve-month
period commencing September 22, 2024
and ending September 21, 2025
purchase up to 540,672 common shares ("Common Shares") in total,
being approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Common
Shares. The daily repurchase restriction for the Common
Shares is 1,000. Common Shares purchased under the normal
course issuer bid will be cancelled. The price that Morguard
will pay for any such Common Shares will be the market price at the
time of acquisition. Management of Morguard will determine
the actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased and the
timing of any such purchases, subject to compliance with TSX
guidelines.
Under its previous normal course issuer bid, Morguard was
approved to purchase up to 540,661 Common Shares. No Common Shares
were purchased for cancellation during the last twelve months. As
of September 12, 2024, there were
10,813,445 Common Shares outstanding. Morguard's average
daily trading volume for the prior six months is 2,118.
Morguard believes that its Common Shares have been trading in
price ranges which do not adequately reflect their value in
relation to the business of Morguard and its future business
prospects. As a result, depending upon future price movements
and other factors, Morguard believes that its outstanding Common
Shares may represent an attractive investment. Furthermore,
the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to
hold Common Shares by increasing their proportionate interest in
Morguard.
