MONTREAL, July 29, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Supremex Inc.,
Canada's largest manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of stock and custom envelopes and
growing provider of packaging and specialty products, is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock
Exchange ("TSX") to purchase its own shares by way of a normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB"), for cancellation.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
Supremex has received approval from the TSX to purchase by way of a NCIB, for cancellation, up to 500,000 of its common
shares, representing approximately 1.75% of its 28,644,771 issued and outstanding common shares as of July
20, 2016.
From July 2, 2015 until July 1, 2016, Supremex has purchased by way
of a NCIB, for cancellation, 106,196 of its common shares at a weighted average price of $4.71 per
share for a total consideration of $499,702.
Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading facilities in Canada, if eligible, in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, over a maximum period of
12 months beginning on August 3, 2016 and ending on August 2, 2017.
The average daily trading volume of Supremex' common shares over the six (6) calendar months prior to the date hereof was
36,242. Accordingly, Supremex is entitled to purchase, on any trading day, up to 9,051 common shares representing 25% of such
average daily trading volume. In addition, Supremex may make, once per week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX
Company Manual) of common shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Supremex, in accordance with TSX rules.
Purchases under the NCIB will be made by means of open market transactions or such other means as the TSX or a securities
regulatory authority may permit, including pre-arranged crosses, exempt offers and private agreements under an issuer bid exemption
order issued by a securities regulatory authority.
The price to be paid by Supremex for any common share will be the market price at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees
or such other price as the TSX may permit. In the event that Supremex purchases common shares by private agreements, the purchase
price of the common shares will be at a discount to the market price of the common shares at the time of the acquisition.
Supremex also announced that it has entered into an automatic purchase plan ("APP") agreement with a broker to allow for the
purchase of its common shares under the NCIB at times when Supremex ordinarily would not be active in the market due to
self-imposed trading blackout periods. Before entering into a blackout period, Supremex may, but is not required to, instruct the
designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the APP. Such purchases will be determined by
the broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by Supremex prior to the blackout period in accordance with TSX
rules, applicable securities laws and the terms of the APP. The terms of the APP have been pre cleared by the TSX. Outside of these
pre-determined blackout periods, common shares will be purchased in accordance with management's discretion.
Supremex believes that the purchase by it of its own common shares may represent a responsible and advisable use of its funds on
hand to increase shareholder value.
