Amendment to Common Share Buy Back Program of Uni-Select Inc.
(firmenpresse) - BOUCHERVILLE, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/18/13 -- Uni-Select Inc. ("Uni-Select") (TSX: UNS) announces today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted its proposition to amend (the "Amendment Notice") its notice of intention (the "Initial Notice") to make a normal course issuer bid to repurchase some of its outstanding common shares through the facilities of the TSX for a period of twelve months ending August 8, 2013 (the ("NCIB"). The purpose of the Amendment Notice is to increase the number of shares that Uni-Select may purchase under the NCIB from 200,000 to 750,000, representing approximately 3.47% of the 21,638,036 common shares of Uni-Select issued and outstanding as of August 6, 2012. Daily repurchases are not affected by the Amendement Notice and will be limited to 2,961 common shares, other than block purchase exemptions. The common shares will be repurchased by Uni-Select for cancellation.
The number of common shares that Uni-Select intends to repurchase and the time of such repurchases will be determined by Uni-Select, at its discretion. The repurchase period is not affected by the Amendement Notice. It will therefore end, as contemplated in the Initial Notice, on the earlier of August 8, 2013 or the date on which Uni-Select will have either acquired the maximum number of common shares pursuant to the Amendment Notice or otherwise decided not to make any further repurchases. All the common shares acquired under the NCIB will be repurchased at their market price at the time of acquisition.
The Board of Directors of Uni-Select has concluded that the repurchase of up to 750,000 common shares is a desirable use of funds for Uni-Select and, therefore, would be in the best interests of Uni-Select and its shareholders. During the last twelve months, Uni-Select has repurchased 169,266 common shares at a weighted average price of $23.73 per share under its normal course issuer bids covering such period. These repurchases have all occurred since the beginning of the NCIB.
Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Amendment Notice, at no charge, by contacting the Secretary of Uni-Select at (450) 641-2440.
