Centerra Gold Announces TSX Acceptance of Renewed Normal Course Issuer Bid
05 Novembro 2024 - 9:30AM
Centerra Gold Inc. (TSX: CG) (NYSE: CGAU) (“Centerra” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange
(“TSX”) has accepted its renewal of a normal course issuer bid
(“NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to an aggregate of
18,800,929 common shares in the capital of the Company (“Common
Shares”) during the twelve-month period commencing on November 7,
2024 and ending on November 6, 2025, representing approximately
8.9% of Centerra’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, or
10% of the public float. As of November 5, 2024, Centerra had
211,321,285 issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Under the NCIB, daily purchases would be limited
to 213,230 Common Shares, other than purchases made under block
purchase exemptions. Once the NCIB is commenced, the exact timing
and amount of any purchases will depend on market conditions and
other factors. Centerra will not be obligated to acquire any Common
Shares and may suspend or discontinue purchases under the NCIB at
any time. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made at market
price at the time of purchase through the facilities of the TSX
and/or alternative Canadian trading systems in accordance with
applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules. The Company’s
previous NCIB authorized the purchase of up to 18,293,896 Common
Shares and expires on November 6, 2024. As of October 31, 2024, a
total of 5,799,800 Common Shares of the Company were repurchased
through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading
systems at a volume weighted average price of $8.74 per Common
Share under the Company’s previous NCIB.
Centerra intends to establish an automatic share
purchase plan in connection with its renewed NCIB to facilitate the
purchase of Common Shares during times when Centerra would
ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to
regulatory restrictions or self-imposed black-out periods. Before
entering a black-out period, Centerra may, but is not required to,
instruct its designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB
based on parameters set by Centerra in accordance with the
automatic share purchase plan, applicable securities laws and stock
exchange rules.
Centerra believes that the Common Shares
continue to be trading in a price range which does not adequately
reflect the value of such shares in relation to Centerra’s assets
and its future prospects. As a result, Centerra believes that the
NCIB will provide the Company with a flexible tool to deploy a
portion of its cash balance pursuant to its capital allocation
framework to, depending upon future Common Share price movements
and other factors, purchase Common Shares for cancellation while
preserving its strong balance sheet position.
