Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dream Unlimited Corp. (TSX: DRM) (“Dream”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) accepted a notice filed by Dream to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period. Under the bid, Dream will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 2,336,326 of its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (representing 10% of Dream’s public float of 23,363,265 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares) through the facilities of the TSX. The bid will commence on September 21, 2021 and remain in effect until the earlier of September 20, 2022 or the date on which Dream has purchased the maximum number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares permitted under the bid. Daily repurchases will be limited to 19,623 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX during the last six calendar months (being 78,494 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of September 10, 2021, the number of issued and outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is 41,960,959.
In connection with the renewal of its normal course issuer bid, Dream has established an automatic securities purchase plan (the “Plan”) with its designated broker to facilitate the purchase of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares under the normal course issuer bid at times when Dream would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Dream’s broker based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties’ written agreement. Outside of such restricted or blackout periods, the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may also be purchased in accordance with Management’s discretion. The Plan has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will terminate on September 20, 2022.
Dream has renewed its normal course issuer bid because it believes that Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for cancellation in the best interests of Dream and its shareholders.
Dream’s prior normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 2,604,395 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares expired on July 30, 2021, the date that the Company acquired the maximum number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares permitted under the bid. Under this bid, Dream purchased 2,604,395 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of $21.65 for a total cost of approximately $56.4 million.
