Atrium may purchase its common shares, from time to time, if it believes that the market price of its common shares is attractive and that the purchase would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of Atrium.
In connection with the NCIB, Atrium has entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with a designated broker to facilitate the purchase of common shares under the NCIB, including at times when Atrium would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its common shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.
