DOLLARAMA ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Dollarama Inc. has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to renew its normal course issuer bid.
Pursuant to the normal course issuer bid, the corporation may, during the 12-month period starting on July 7, 2025, and ending no later than July 6, 2026, purchase up to 13,865,588 of its common shares, representing 5.0 per cent of the corporation's issued and outstanding common shares as at the close of markets on June 30, 2025 (a total of 277,311,769 common shares were issued and outstanding as of such date).
Purchases will be conducted through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by the applicable securities regulators or under applicable securities laws. Dollarama may also purchase common shares by way of private agreements or specific share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders issued by a securities regulatory authority. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems will be at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. Purchases made by way of private agreement under an issuer bid exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will be at a discount to the prevailing market price at the time of the acquisition. Purchases made under a specific share repurchase program will be at a discount to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian markets on the date of the purchase.
All shares purchased pursuant to the normal course issuer bid will either be cancelled or placed in trust to facilitate the holding and administering of common shares that may be purchased by the corporation to hedge its exposure in respect of grants made under its performance share unit plan, including to settle the corporation's obligations under such plan.
The average daily trading volume of the common shares on the TSX over the period between Jan. 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025, as calculated per TSX rules, was 702,056 common shares. Consequently, under TSX rules, Dollarama will be allowed to purchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 175,514 common shares, representing 25 per cent of such average daily trading volume. In addition, Dollarama may make, once per week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX company manual) of common shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Dollarama, in accordance with TSX rules.
Under the normal course issuer bid, which is set to expire on July 6, 2025, Dollarama received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 16,549,476 common shares. As at June 30, 2025, Dollarama had purchased a total of 5,139,460 common shares thereunder, at a weighted average price of $139.27 per common share. Such purchases were effected through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems.
The board of directors of Dollarama believes that the purchase by Dollarama of its common shares from time to time represents an appropriate and desirable use of its available funds to increase shareholder value.
