Solution Financial Inc. Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2020) – Solution Financial Inc. (TSXV: SFI) (“Solution” or the “Company“), a leading provider of luxury automotive and yacht leasing in Western Canada, announces that the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) has accepted to renew the Company’s Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB“).
Under the NCIB, a total of up to 4,068,111 common shares may be purchased through the facilities of the TSXV, representing 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, and any such purchases will be at market prices. The NCIB will commence on or after December 18, 2020 and will end on December 17, 2021 or on such earlier date as the Company may complete its purchases pursuant to the NCIB or as it may otherwise determine.
The Company’s existing NCIB commenced on December 16, 2019 and expires on December 17, 2020, pursuant to which the Company received approval from the TSXV to purchase up to 3,966,202 of its common shares. As of December 15, 2020, the Company purchased for cancellation 1,553,500 common shares through the facilities of the TSXV at an average price of $0.37 per common share.
The Company has engaged PI Financial Corp. to act as the broker through which the NCIB will be conducted.
Solution believes that the purchase of Solution common shares at recent market prices is an appropriate investment by Solution since, in its view, recent market prices do not reflect the underlying value of Solution’s business. Having an NCIB in place will provide Solution with the flexibility to purchase common shares as part of its capital management strategy which is designed to maintain healthy regulatory capital ratios while balancing the objective of generating shareholder value.
All common shares acquired by Solution under the NCIB will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
