RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:$50 million buybackThe 25% fewer shares are across the board. But, the NCIB is on the open market and basically are from small minority shareholders. So ultimately there will be fewer minority shares. The 3 large shareholders are slowly taking over the company by using the company money to do so. Once it is small enough they will take it private and keep the excellant cash flow for themselves. If they really wanted to reward shareholders they would keep the shares as is and pay out special dividends. What they are doing now is setting a price that you can't refuse. If they want a privatization, then they should pay the premium and take it private.
This is once again a case of the retail investor getting screwed.
Cheers.
