Mednow Inc. (TSX-V: MNOW) (“Mednow” or the “Company”), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy, is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) has accepted a notice filed by the Company of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “Bid”) to be transacted through the facilities of the Exchange.
The notice provides that the Company may, during the 12-month period commencing April 1, 2021 and ending April 1, 2022, purchase up to 1,093,873 Class A common shares of the Company (”Shares”) in total, being 5% of the total number of 21,877,460 Shares outstanding as at March 29, 2021.
The price which the Company will pay for any such Shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Bid and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by management of the Company. Purchases under the Bid will be made from time to time by Raymond James Ltd. on behalf of the Company.
All Share purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the Exchange and will be purchased for cancellation. The funding for any purchase pursuant to the Bid will be financed out of the working capital of the Company.
The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the recent market prices of the Company’s common shares do not properly reflect the underlying value of such shares. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that the purchase of the Shares would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Shares by increasing their equity interest in the Company if the repurchased Shares are cancelled.
A copy of the Company’s notice filed with the Exchange may be obtained, by any shareholder without charge, by contacting the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Joshua Lebovic.
