WELL Health Announces Approval of Normal Course Issuer Bid
(firmenpresse) - Vancouver, BC - May 10, 2021 - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (the Company or WELL), a company focused on consolidating and modernizing clinical and digital assets within the primary healthcare sector, today announced that the Notice of an Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) it has filed with the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has been approved by the TSX.
WELL believes that share purchases pursuant to the NCIB will contribute to the facilitation of an orderly market and be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In the event that WELL believes that its common shares begin trading in a price range that does not adequately reflect their underlying value based on WELLs business prospects and strong financial position, WELL may purchase shares pursuant to the NCIB. Depending upon future price movements and other factors, WELL believes that its outstanding common shares represent an attractive investment and a desirable use of a portion of its corporate funds.
At the opening of the stock market on todays date, the Company had 195,161,273 common shares issued and outstanding. Under the NCIB, the Company may acquire up to an aggregate of 4,879,031 common shares over the next 12-month period, representing approximately 2.5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. In accordance with TSX rules, daily purchases made by the Company on the TSX will not exceed 260,501 common shares, subject to certain prescribed exemptions, being 25% of the average daily trading volume over the preceding six calendar months of 1,042,004 common shares. The NCIB will be effective from May 12, 2021 to May 11, 2022. Although the Company was eligible to purchase up to 5,943,822 common shares pursuant to the NCIB previously announced on March 23, 2020, the Company did not purchase any common shares.
Purchases subject to this NCIB will be carried out pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the TSX and any other stock exchanges or alternative trading systems in Canada on which the Companys common shares may be listed at the relevant time by Eight Capital on behalf of the Company in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. All common shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be returned to treasury and cancelled.
To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Company or any of their associates currently intends to sell any common shares under this bid. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the TSX or any other available market or alternative trading system in Canada may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person change or if 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.
