EVERTZ TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED (ET) ANNOUNCES TSX APPROVAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Evertz Technologies Ltd. has sought and received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange to make a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase up to 3,774,227 of its outstanding common shares from time to time in accordance with the normal course issuer bid procedures of the TSX and applicable Canadian securities laws.
Pursuant to the NCIB, Evertz may purchase for cancellation up to 3,774,227 of its outstanding common shares during the 12-month period commencing on Dec. 11, 2025, and ending on Dec. 10, 2026. The total number of common shares that Evertz may purchase pursuant to NCIB represents approximately 5 per cent of the 75,484,550 issued and outstanding common shares of Evertz as at Nov. 27, 2025.
The price that Evertz will pay for any common shares purchased under the NCIB will be the market price at the time of such purchase. All purchases of common shares by Evertz will be made through the facilities of TSX or alternative trading systems in Canada. All purchased shares will be cancelled.
Other than as otherwise permitted pursuant to once-a-week block purchases in accordance with TSX rules, Evertz may purchase up to 5,615 common shares per day, representing approximately 25 per cent of Evertz's average daily trading volume of 22,463 common shares for the period beginning on May 1, 2025, and ending on Oct. 31, 2025.
Evertz believes that its common shares currently trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect their underlying value based on Evertz's business and strong financial position. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, Evertz believes that its outstanding common shares represent an attractive investment and a desirable use of a portion of its corporate funds. Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a NCIB, Evertz sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 3,797,308 of its common shares, during the period from Nov. 27, 2024, through to Nov. 26, 2025. As of Oct. 31, 2025, Evertz purchased 534,107 common shares on the open market at an average purchase price of $11.42 under the previous NCIB.
To the knowledge of Evertz, no director, senior officer or other insider of Evertz currently intends to sell any common shares under the NCIB. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading systems in Canada may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person change or any such person makes a decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such person whose shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose shares are purchased.
Evertz will also enter into an automatic securities purchase plan (ASPP) with an independent designated broker in order to facilitate repurchases of common shares. The ASPP has been approved by the TSX and will be entered into effective as of or about Dec. 11, 2025.
Under the ASPP, Evertz's independent designated broker may purchase common shares under the NCIB at times when Evertz would ordinarily not be permitted to, due to its regular self-imposed blackout periods. Before the commencement of any particular internal trading blackout period, Evertz may, but is not required to, instruct its independent designated broker to make purchases of common shares under the NCIB during the ensuing blackout period in accordance with the terms of the NCIB. Such purchases will be determined by the independent designated broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by Evertz prior to commencement of the applicable blackout period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP and applicable TSX rules. Outside of these blackout periods, common shares will continue to be purchasable by Evertz at its discretion under the NCIB.
The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the purchase limit specified in the ASPP has been reached; (b) the purchase limit under the applicable NCIB has been reached; (c) Evertz terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms, in which case Evertz will issue a news release confirming such termination; and (d) the applicable NCIB terminates.
