VANCOUVER, BC, July 12,
2022 /CNW/ - Premium Brands Holdings Corporation
(TSX: PBH) (the "Company") announced today that its board of
directors resolved to seek Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX")
approval to institute a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB")
providing for the repurchase of the Company's common shares through
the facilities of the TSX and other Canadian trading platforms.
The Company is seeking to proceed with a NCIB on the basis that
the prevailing market price of its common shares may not adequately
reflect the underlying value of the Company, and that purchasing
common shares for cancellation will increase the proportionate
interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining
shareholders.
The Company will file a notice of intention to make a NCIB with
the TSX. The NCIB will be subject to receipt of certain
approvals, including acceptance of the notice of intention by the
TSX. The NCIB will promptly commence following receipt of all such
approvals and will continue for a period of up to one year.
From time to time, when the Company does not possess material
non-public information about itself or its securities, it may enter
into a pre-defined purchase plan with a broker to allow for the
repurchase of common shares at times when the Company's internal
trading blackout periods, insider trading or other rules prohibit
such repurchases. Any such plan entered into with the Company's
broker will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian
securities laws and the rules of the TSX.
All purchases will be made on the open market through the
facilities of the TSX, and other Canadian trading platforms, in
accordance with their policies. The price to be paid by the
Company for its common shares will be the market price at the time
of purchase.
The Company also announced today that its most recent annual
letter to shareholders from George
Paleologou, the Company's President and CEO, has been posted
to its website and can be accessed here or on the Company's website
at https://premiumbrandsholdings.com. The letter is titled
Staying the Course Through Adversity.
