COM DEV ANNOUNCES APPROVAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted Com Dev International Ltd.'s notice of intention to make a normal course
issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX and alternative trading systems.
Pursuant to the notice, the corporation proposes to repurchase up to an
aggregate of 3,814,257 common shares during the 12-month period commencing March 21, 2012, and ending March 20, 2013. The corporation
shall make available a maximum of $5-million to finance the repurchase of
common shares during the bid period. The corporation will determine the
number of common shares to be repurchased and the timing of such
purchases subject to TSX's policy on normal course issuer bids. All common shares repurchased by the corporation during the bid period
will be cancelled.
As of March 13, 2012, there were 76,285,146 common shares of the
corporation outstanding. The 3,814,257 common shares the corporation
intends to repurchase under the TSX normal course issuer bid represent
5 per cent of the corporation's issued and outstanding common shares, the
maximum number of shares permitted to be purchased under the TSX's
normal course issuer bid policy. Further, except for block purchase
exceptions, pursuant to such policy, the corporation cannot acquire more
than 17,375 shares on any given trading day, this number being 25 per cent of
the average daily trading volume of the corporation's shares for the
six calendar months ending on Feb. 29, 2012.
The normal course issuer bid that is the subject of the notice is a
successor to the corporation's normal course issuer bid that commenced
on March 21, 2011, and will terminate on March 20, 2012. To date, the corporation purchased a total of 280,500 of its common shares at a weighted average price of $1.88 per common share
under the terms of its previous bid.
The corporation believes that its common shares have been trading in a
price range which does not adequately reflect their value in relation
to the corporation's business and its future business prospects. As a
result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the
corporation believes that the repurchases of its common shares are in
the best interest of the corporation and represent a desirable use of
corporate funds.
We seek Safe Harbor.
