Kinaxis® Inc. (“ Kinaxis “your”Enterprise”) (TSX: KXS) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “If so” or “TSX”) accepted a notification (the “Notification”) issued by the company of its intention to undertake a share repurchase program (the “NCIB”). In connection with the NCIB, the company entered into an automatic share purchase plan (an “ASPP”) with your designated broker to permit the purchase of your common shares (the “Actions”).
The Notice provides that Company may, during the 12-month period beginning November 6, 2024 and ending November 5, 2025, or such earlier date when Kinaxis completes its purchases or provides notice of termination, purchase up to 1,404,639 Shares in total, representing approximately 5% of the Shares issued and outstanding as of October 23, 2024. As of the close of business on October 23, 2024, the Company had 28,092,786 Shares issued and outstanding. Except for block purchases permitted by TSX rules, the number of Shares to be purchased per day will not exceed 15,500, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of Shares on the TSX for the most recent six calendar months ending 30 September 2024 (being 62,000 Shares) prior to acceptance of the Notification by the TSX. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company’s management, subject to applicable law and the rules of the TSX.
Subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, all purchases of Shares under the NCIB will be conducted through the facilities of the TSX and/or Canadian alternative trading systems at prevailing market prices, or by such other means as may be permitted by regulatory bodies. of applicable securities. All Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.
A Kinaxis firmou um ASPP com a RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (“RBC DS”) to permit the purchase of Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would not normally be permitted to purchase Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-determined blackout periods.
Under the ASPP, prior to entering a blackout period, Kinaxis may, but is not required to, instruct RBC DS to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. These purchases will be determined by RBC DS, in its sole discretion, based on parameters established by Kinaxis prior to the lock-in period, in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. The ASPP was pre-cleared by the TSX simultaneously with the initiation of the NCIB.
The Company’s board of directors (the “Advice”) believes that, from time to time, the market price of Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business. As a result, depending on future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that purchasing the Shares would be a desirable use of corporate funds in the best interests of the Company. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Shares by increasing their ownership interest in the Company when such repurchased Shares are cancelled.
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no director, senior executive or other person within the Company or any of its associates currently intends to sell any Shares under the NCIB. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the Stock Exchange or any other available market or alternative trading system may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person change or if any such person makes an unrelated decision to these normal purchases. The benefits to any person whose Shares are purchased will be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose Shares are purchased.
Pursuant to Kinaxis’ ordinary course issuer offer, which expires on November 5, 2024 (the “Expiring NCIB”), the Company has received approval from the TSX to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 1,424,790 Shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares of Kinaxis as of October 23, 2023. To date, the Company has repurchased and canceled 1,052,958 Shares under the Expiring NCIB, at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $148, 64 per Share (including commissions).
