STORAGEVAULT CANADA INC.
(“
StorageVault” or the
“
Corporation”) (
SVI-TSX) is
pleased to announce that it has received conditional acceptance
from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “
TSX”) to
conduct a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“
NCIB”) to
purchase for cancellation, during the 12-month period starting
March 21, 2024: (i) up to 18,727,451 of the outstanding common
shares of the Corporation (the “
Common
Shares”), representing 5% of the 374,549,038
Common Shares outstanding (as of March 18, 2024); (ii) outstanding
5.75% senior unsecured hybrid debentures of the Corporation issued
in July 2020 and due on January 31, 2026 (“
2020
Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$3,750,000, representing 5% of the currently outstanding
$75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2020 Debentures (as of
March 18, 2024); (iii) outstanding 5.50% senior unsecured hybrid
debentures of the Corporation issued in July 2021 and due on
September 30, 2026 (“
2021
Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,873,750, representing 5% of the currently outstanding
$57,475,000 aggregate principal amount of 2021 Debentures (as of
March 18, 2024); and (iv) outstanding 5.00% convertible senior
unsecured debentures of the Corporation issued in January 2023 and
due on March 31, 2028 (“
2023
Debentures” and collectively, with the 2020
Debentures and 2021 Debentures, the “
Debentures”)
in the aggregate principal amount of $7,491,850, representing 5% of
the currently outstanding $149,837,000 aggregate principal amount
of 2023 Debentures (as of March 18, 2024). Each NCIB will end on
March 20, 2025, unless the maximum amount of Common Shares or
Debentures, as applicable, is purchased before then or StorageVault
provides earlier notice of termination. StorageVault will not
acquire through the facilities of the TSX more than 77,686 Common
Shares, $5,423 aggregate principal amount of 2020 Debentures,
$8,372 aggregate principal amount of 2021 Debentures or $51,352
aggregate principal amount 2023 Debentures, during a trading day,
being 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares
(310,747), 2020 Debentures ($21,692), 2021 Debentures ($33,491) and
2023 Debentures ($205,411), respectively, on the TSX from September
1, 2023 until February 29, 2024, subject to certain prescribed
exceptions. The stock symbol on the TSX for the Common Shares, 2020
Debentures, 2021 Debentures and 2023 Debentures is SVI, SVI.DB,
SVI.DB.B and SVI.DB.C, respectively.
The purchase and payment for the Common Shares
and Debentures will be made by StorageVault through the facilities
of the TSX or alternative trading systems. National Bank Financial
Inc. has been selected as StorageVault’s agent for the NCIB. The
price paid for the Common Shares or Debentures, as applicable, will
be, subject to NCIB pricing rules contained in securities laws, the
prevailing market price of such Common Shares or Debentures, as
applicable, on the TSX at the time of such purchase. StorageVault
intends to fund the purchases out of available cash.
StorageVault believes that the market price of
its Common Shares and Debentures may not reflect their underlying
value and the Board of Directors has authorized this initiative
because, in the Board’s opinion, the proposed purchase of Common
Shares and Debentures pursuant to the NCIB constitutes an
appropriate use of StorageVault’s funds, and the repurchase of its
Common Shares and Debentures is one way of creating securityholder
value.
To the knowledge of StorageVault, no director,
senior officer or other insider of StorageVault currently intends
to sell any Common Shares or Debentures under the NCIB. However,
sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX may occur
if the personal circumstances of any such person changes or any
such person makes a decision unrelated to these NCIB purchases. The
benefits to any such person whose Common Shares or Debentures are
purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other
holders whose Common Shares or Debentures are purchased.
StorageVault conducted a previous NCIB for up to
18,905,000 Common Shares, $3,750,000 2020 Debentures, $2,875,000
2021 Debentures and $5,000,000 2023 Debentures through the
facilities of the TSX, which NCIB ended on March 17, 2024. Pursuant
to the previous Common Share NCIB, StorageVault purchased an
aggregate of 4,308,998 Common Shares, at a volume weighted average
price of $4.863398 per Common Share, $25,000 of principal amount
of 2021 Debentures, at a volume weighted average price of $90.95
per $100 of principal, and $163,000 of principal amount of 2023
Debentures were purchased, at a volume weighted average price of
$87.00 per $100 of principal, and no 2020 Debentures were
purchased.
