Docebo (NASDAQ: DCBO) details US$60M issuer bid and bigger credit line
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Docebo Inc. is moving ahead with a substantial issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to US$60,000,000 of its common shares at US$20.40 per share. This transaction lets shareholders sell shares back to the company at a fixed premium-style price.
Major shareholder Intercap Equity Inc., which beneficially owns about 56.6% of Docebo’s outstanding common shares (including a committed acquisition from WPGG 14 Investment Ltd. IV), now indicates it may tender shares in order to maintain its approximate ownership level. Docebo’s board continues to back the bid, stating the current trading price does not fully reflect the company’s value and future prospects.
To finance the repurchase, Docebo plans to use roughly US$30,000,000 of cash on hand and draw about US$30,000,000 from its credit facility. The company has amended and restated its credit agreement, increasing the secured revolving facility by US$50,000,000 to a total of US$100,000,000, with a three-year term and variable interest rates based on financial ratios. The facility can be expanded by up to an additional US$50,000,000 and can also support general corporate purposes, acquisitions and investments.
The offer is scheduled to expire on March 10, 2026, unless it is extended, varied or withdrawn. Shareholders holding through brokers or other nominees are encouraged to work through those intermediaries if they wish to tender shares into the bid.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Docebo launches a sizable debt‑supported share buyback via issuer bid.
Docebo plans to repurchase up to US$60,000,000 of stock at US$20.40 per share through a substantial issuer bid. The board explicitly states it views the market price as not fully reflecting business value, signaling confidence in long‑term prospects while returning capital to shareholders.
Funding mixes about US$30,000,000 of cash with a US$30,000,000 draw on an enlarged revolving credit facility now totaling US$100,000,000. This increases financial leverage but also preserves liquidity through committed bank lines that can support corporate purposes, acquisitions and investments alongside the buyback.
Controlling shareholder Intercap, at roughly 56.6% ownership including a pending block acquisition, may tender shares to keep its ownership around current levels. Actual impact on ownership concentration and capital structure will depend on how many shares are ultimately tendered before the offer’s March 10, 2026 expiry.

Exhibit 99.1
Docebo Inc. Provides Update on Substantial Issuer Bid
TORONTO, ONTARIO – February 18, 2026 – Docebo Inc. (NASDAQ: DCBO; TSX: DCBO) (“Docebo” or the “Company”), a leading learning platform provider with a foundation in artificial intelligence (AI) and innovation, today provided an update on its previously announced substantial issuer bid (the “Offer”) under which the Company will offer to repurchase for cancellation up to US$60,000,000 of its outstanding common shares (“Common Shares”) at a price of US$20.40 per Common Share.
Change in Intercap Intentions to Participate in the Offer
Intercap Equity Inc. (“Intercap”), has informed the Company that, due to Intercap’s internal capital management considerations, it may in fact participate in the Offer and could tender Common Shares to the Offer, with the goal of maintaining its approximate current ownership interest in the Company. Intercap beneficially owns approximately 56.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares (including the 3,630,715 Common Shares Intercap has committed to acquire from WPGG 14 Investment Ltd. IV which is scheduled to close on or about February 27, 2026, all as described in Intercap’s press release of November 28, 2025). Jason Chapnik (Chairman and a director of the Company) beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests of Intercap and serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intercap and James Merkur (a director of the Company) serves as President of Intercap.
“Intercap’s change of intention relates solely to Intercap’s capital management requirements and should not be interpreted as a view on Docebo’s value or prospects,” said Jason Chapnik, Chairman and CEO of Intercap. “As Docebo’s largest shareholder, Intercap remains committed to the Company and believes strongly in its future. Docebo is doing incredible things. Our goal is to manage our capital needs appropriately while maintaining the largest stake possible in Docebo.”
Continued Board Support for the Offer
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) remains committed to the Offer, as it believes that the current trading price of the Common Shares is not fully reflective of the value of the Company’s business and future prospects. The Company and the Board continue to believe that the Offer is in the best interests of the Company and represents a desirable use of a portion of its existing liquidity.
Financing
The Company intends to fund the Offer through a combination of approximately US$30,000,000 of cash on hand and an approximate US$30,000,000 draw down on its credit facility. In its January 29, 2026 press release announcing the Offer, the Company announced an intention to increase the size of its credit facility from US$50,000,000 to US$100,000,000.
The Company has now entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with National Bank of Canada as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto from time to time that provides for, among other things, an increase of $50,000,000 in the secured revolving credit facility such that the maximum amount available for the Company to borrow is $100,000,000 (the “Amended Facility”). The Amended Facility has a term of three years and bears interest at variable rates depending on certain financial ratios and metrics. The Amended Facility includes an accordion feature that allows for the expansion of the Amended Facility by up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $50,000,000. The accordion feature is available upon request by Docebo and is subject to acceptance by the lenders or commitments by new financial institutions or commercial lenders in the case where the lenders decline to increase their commitment in connection with the accordion request. The Amended Facility, which is secured against all assets of the Company and a pledge of certain equity interests in its subsidiaries, is available for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, and investments (including the Offer), subject to certain limitations.
Offer Timing
The Offer will expire on March 10, 2026, unless extended, varied or withdrawn. Further details regarding the Offer can be found in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Circular dated February 1, 2026, which are available free of charge under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Shareholders who wish to deposit Common Shares under the Offer and who hold Common Shares registered in the name of an investment dealer, stock broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, should immediately contact their nominee in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit the Common Shares held under the Offer.
This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Common Shares. The solicitation and the offer to buy Common Shares will only be made pursuant to the Offer documents, which have been filed with the applicable securities regulators in Canada and the United States.
