BURNABY, BC, Feb. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - GLENTEL Inc. ("GLENTEL") (TSX:GLN) has
filed, and has received Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") acceptance of, a
notice to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") to purchase up to
500,000 of its outstanding Common Shares. Depending upon future price
movements and other factors from time to time, the board of directors
of GLENTEL believes that the purchase of its outstanding Common Shares
may represent desirable use of a portion of its available funds and may
provide additional liquidity to its shareholders, benefiting the
remaining shareholders by an increase in the value of their equity
interest in the company.
On January 31, 2014, GLENTEL completed a previous NCIB, through which
59,175 shares were purchased. In the period beginning February 11, 2014
and ending on February 10, 2015, GLENTEL intends to further acquire up
to 500,000 Common Shares, being 2.24% of the 22,274,065 Common Shares
outstanding on February 4, 2014. Subject to any block purchases made in
accordance with the rules of the TSX, GLENTEL will be subject to a
daily repurchase maximum of 8,521 Common Shares, representing 25% of
the average daily trading volume of 34,085 Common Shares.
Any shares purchased pursuant to the NCIB will be cancelled. Shares will
be purchased at the market price of the shares at the time of purchase
and will be purchased on behalf of GLENTEL by a registered investment
dealer through the facilities of the TSX or other Canadian market
places. The funding for any purchase of Common Shares pursuant to the
NCIB will be financed out of working capital of GLENTEL.
