Dexterra Announces Increased Normal Course Issuer Bid
Dexterra Group Inc. (TSX: DXT) has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) to amend its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), increasing the maximum number of common shares that can be acquired to 3,207,361 or approximately 5.0% of its issued and outstanding shares. The increase, effective October 16, 2024, allows for the repurchase and cancellation of an additional 3,041,761 common shares. Fairfax Financial Holdings , which currently holds about 49.67% of Dexterra's shares, will be permitted to maintain its proportionate interest through the end of 2024.

The company has also announced the continuation of its automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with a designated broker, allowing for share purchases during blackout periods. The NCIB and ASPP will terminate on the earliest of: reaching the maximum annual purchase limit, NCIB expiration, or Dexterra's termination of the ASPP.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - Dexterra Group Inc. (TSX: DXT) ("Dexterra") is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has approved Dexterra's notice of intention to amend its previously announced normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") that commenced on May 23, 2024 and expires on May 22, 2025, increasing the maximum number of common shares that may be acquired under the NCIB to 3,207,361 or approximately
In addition to providing shareholders liquidity, Dexterra believes that the common shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect their value in relation to Dexterra's business and its future prospects. Dexterra further believes that the purchase of the common shares through the NCIB, at appropriate times, can constitute an attractive investment.
Pursuant to the terms of the NCIB, commencing on May 23, 2024 and expiring on May 22, 2025, Dexterra may purchase its own common shares for cancellation through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems, in accordance with the applicable requirements, and as otherwise permitted under applicable securities laws. Effective October 16, 2024, the maximum number of common shares which may be purchased by Dexterra during the NCIB will not exceed 3,207,361 common shares being approximately
Fairfax currently holds approximately
Purchases from Fairfax will be made by way of put-through on the TSX or other published market by Dexterra's broker pursuant to an automatic share disposition plan agreement (the "ASDP") entered into among Dexterra's broker, Dexterra and Fairfax, and, in the case of all transactions on the TSX, during the TSX's Special Trading Session. Purchases from Fairfax will be made on days, as required by the ASDP, that Dexterra makes a purchase from other shareholders under the NCIB. In the event that Fairfax does not sell Dexterra common shares on any day as required by the terms of the ASDP (other than as a result of a market disruption event), the TSX exemption will cease to apply and Dexterra will not be permitted to make any further purchases from Fairfax under the terms of the NCIB. The ASDP will expire no later than December 31, 2024.
Dexterra also announces that its automatic share purchase plan (the "ASPP") with a designated broker will continue to allow for the purchase of its common shares under its NCIB, including from Fairfax, at times when Dexterra normally would not be active in the market due to applicable regulatory restrictions or internal trading black-out periods. Before the commencement of any particular internal trading black-out period, Dexterra may, but is not required to, instruct its designated broker to make purchases of the common shares under the NCIB, including from Fairfax, during the ensuing black-out period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by Dexterra prior to commencement of the applicable black-out period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP, the ASDP and applicable TSX rules. Outside of these black-out periods, common shares will be purchasable by Dexterra at its discretion under its NCIB, other than as contemplated in the ASDP.
The amended NCIB and ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum annual purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (b) the NCIB expires; or (c) Dexterra terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms. The ASPP constitutes an "automatic securities purchase plan" under applicable Canadian securities laws.
