MONTREAL, June 7, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Dollarama Inc. (TSX: DOL) ("Dollarama" or the
"Corporation") announced today that it received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") to renew its normal course
issuer bid in order to purchase for cancellation up to 5,680,390 of its common shares, representing 5.0% of the 113,607,809
common shares issued and outstanding as at the close of markets on June 6, 2017, during the
12-month period starting on June 19, 2017 and ending no later than June 18, 2018.
Purchases will be conducted through the facilities of the TSX and through alternative trading systems, or by other means as
may be permitted by the TSX, such as prearranged crosses, exempt offers and block purchases. Dollarama may also purchase common
shares for cancellation by way of private agreements or specific share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders
issued by a securities regulatory authority. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and alternative
trading systems will be at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. Purchases made by way of private agreement
under an issuer bid exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will be at a discount to the prevailing market
price at the time of the acquisition. Purchases made under a specific share repurchase program will be at a discount to the
volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian markets on the date of the purchase. All shares
purchased pursuant to the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled.
The average daily trading volume of the common shares on the TSX over the period between December 1, 2016 and
May 31, 2017, as calculated per TSX rules, was 346,664 common shares. Consequently, under TSX rules, Dollarama will be
allowed to purchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 86,666 common shares, representing 25% of such
average daily trading volume. In addition, Dollarama 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 Dollarama, in accordance with TSX rules.
Under the ongoing normal course issuer bid expiring on June 16, 2017, Dollarama repurchased to
date a total of 5,975,162 common shares, representing nearly 5.0% of all common shares issued and outstanding as at the close of
markets on June 7, 2016, at a weighted average price of $100.78 per common share.
The Board of Directors of Dollarama believes that the purchase by Dollarama of its common shares continues to represent an
appropriate and desirable use of its available cash to increase shareholder value.
