TORONTO, May 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Captor Capital Corp. (“Captor” or the “Company”) (CSE: CPTR; FRANKFURT: NMVA; USOTC: CPTRF) announced today its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB" or the "Bid") to expend up to an aggregate of CDN $5 million on the purchase of common shares of the Company (the "Shares"). The actual number of Shares that may be purchased under the Bid, the value of the consideration per Share, and the exact timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company and will depend on, among other things, future market conditions.
“Captor is commencing the Bid because the Company believes the repurchase of its Shares for cancellation would be in the best interests of its shareholders,” said Captor Capital CEO, John Zorbas. “The market price of its Shares, affected as it is by both the current cannabis market and the COVID-19 pandemic, does not reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and future prospects.”
Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may, if considered advisable, purchase the Shares through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and/or alternative trading systems, from time to time over the next 12 months, and shall not, in any event, exceed 5% of the issued Shares.
The Company has appointed Foster and Associates Financial Services Inc. to coordinate and facilitate its NCIB purchases. Purchases are expected to commence through the CSE and/or alternative trading systems on or about May 5, 2020 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed or March 31, 2021. All Shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled.
