We also recognize that this is a pivotal inflection point for the Company and an attractive investment," said Ryan Selby, CEO of Poda Holdings, Inc. "Poda's NCIB is a clear indicator to shareholders regarding our financial health and our confidence in the Company and its near-term commercial goals."
The actual number of Subordinate Voting Shares purchased under the NCIB, the timing of the purchases, and the price per share will depend on market conditions and shall be in compliance with CSE policy and National Instrument 62-104. All purchases by the Company under the NCIB will be made through Haywood Securities Inc., as broker dealer of the Company, and all Subordinate Voting Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.
