NORTH YORK, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 27, 2025 / ZTEST Electronics Inc. ("ZTEST" or the "Company") (CSE:ZTE)(OTC PINK:ZTSTF), is pleased to announce that it intends to effect a normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB") through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").

Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may purchase up to 2,727,923 common shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float, over a 12-month period beginning on April 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2026. All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the CSE in accordance with the policies of the CSE and applicable Canadian securities laws. The price which ZTEST will pay for any common shares purchased under the NCIB will be the market price at the time of acquisition.

The Company will fund the purchases of common shares under the NCIB with cash on hand. The exact timing and amount of any purchases of common shares made pursuant to the NCIB will depend on market conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated to acquire any common shares and may suspend or discontinue purchases under the NCIB at any time. Any common shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase.

Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase up to such number of common shares equal to 2% of its issued and outstanding common shares over any 30-trading day period.

The Company intends to commence the NCIB as it believes that the market price of its common shares does not fully reflect the value of its business and prospects. As such it believes that purchasing its own common shares for cancellation is an appropriate strategy for increasing long-term shareholder value and represents an appropriate use of the Company's financial resources.

The Company has appointed Integral Wealth Securities Ltd. as its broker to conduct the NCIB transactions on its behalf.
