FORT Fortress Technologies Inc

Fortress Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: FORT) (“Fortress” or the “Company”) today announced that it intends commence a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation from time to time up to an aggregate of 5,688,227 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), representing 8.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares and 10% of the Company’s “Public Float” (as such term is defined in the TSX-V Corporate Finance Manual) as of July 27, 2020.

Fortress may purchase common shares under the NCIB over the next twelve-month period beginning on or about July 29, 2020. The NCIB will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Company purchasing 5,688,227 Common Shares, (ii) the Company providing notice of termination of the NCIB, and (iii) July 28, 2021.

Fortress has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”) to act as broker for the NCIB. Any purchases under the NCIB will be conducted on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV or alternative Canadian trading systems at market prices or by such other means as may be permitted under applicable securities laws. Any daily purchases on the TSXV under the NCIB will be subject to all limitations as set forth in the policies of the TSXV. All common shares purchased by Fortress will be cancelled. The funding for any purchase pursuant to the NCIB will be from the working capital of the Company.

The NCIB is being undertaken as the Company believes the share price of its Common Shares, from time to time, is not reflecting of the underlying value of the Company. The Company believes the purchase of Common Shares is an appropriate use of its financial resources and is advantageous to shareholders when Common Shares are purchased at a price below their underlying value and cancelled, as this increases the proportionate share of ownership of the Company for the remaining shareholders. The NCIB will also afford an increased degree of liquidity to those shareholders of Fortress who wish to dispose of their Common Shares.
