Till Capital Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid, Hosts Investor Conference Call at 8am PST September 9, 2014

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES



Hamilton, Bermuda (FSCwire) - Till Capital Ltd. (TSX.V: TIL) (the “Company” or “Till"), announces that it intends to make a normal course issuer bid for up to 311,000 of its issued and outstanding common shares, being approximately 8.6% of the Company's currently outstanding common shares.  As at September 5th there were 3.6 million shares of Till outstanding. The board of directors of the Company believes that the current and recent market prices for the Company's common shares do not give full effect to their underlying value and that, accordingly, the purchase of common shares under the bid will increase the proportionate share interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. All common shares of the Company purchased by Till under the bid will be purchased at the prevailing market price, returned to treasury and cancelled.

 

The Company also believes the normal course purchases will also afford an increased degree of liquidity to current shareholders who would like to dispose of their shares and will serve to stabilize the market price for the Company's shares. The bid will commence no earlier than three trading days following receipt of approval of the TSXV and will terminate one year from such date, or such earlier time as the applicable bid is completed or at the option of the Company.  The Company has not purchased any of its shares in the last 12 months. 

 

Purchases subject to the bid will be carried out pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the TSXV by Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. Ltd on behalf of Till.   Commencement of the bid is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
