TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--POSaBIT Systems Corporation (CSE: PBIT) ("POSaBIT" or the "Company") announces its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB" or the "Bid") to purchase an aggregate of up to 4,143,739 common shares of the Company (the “Shares”), representing 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
POSaBIT is commencing the Bid because it believes that the market price of its Shares does not reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and future prospects. POSaBIT believes that the repurchase of its Shares for cancellation will enhance shareholder value.
The Company has appointed Canaccord Genuity Corp. to coordinate and facilitate its NCIB purchases. Purchases are expected to commence on or about October 7, 2019 and will conclude on October 7, 2020 or earlier upon purchase of the number of Shares sought under the Bid or at the discretion of the Company. All Shares purchased by the Company will be purchased through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange and/or alternative trading systems at the market price at the time of purchase. All Shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled.
