MONTREAL, Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR), a
TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the "Company", the “Corporation” or "PyroGenesis") a Company that designs, develops and
manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that it intends to implement a
normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to
5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding (the "Shares"). As of the date hereof, there are 122,895,342
Shares of PyroGenesis issued and outstanding.
Purchases under the NCIB will commence on acceptance and approval of the TSXV and will expire on the earlier of:
(i) one year from such commencement; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Shares to be
acquired under the NCIB. All purchases made by the Company will be through Pollitt & Co. Inc. acting on behalf of the Company in
accordance with the rules of the TSXV. The actual number of Shares which will be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will
be determined by the Company, and the price which the Company will pay for the Shares will be the market price at the time of the
purchase.
The Company's Board of Directors believe that the market price of the Company's Shares does not reflect the
underlying value of the Company, specifically its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Shares is in the
best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds. Any purchases made by the Company could also
enhance value and liquidity for its ongoing shareholders.
“At these price levels, we find the value of our shares to be an attractive investment and, as such, a good use
of funds, particularly given our recent press releases which describe, amongst other things that (i) the Company contracted for an
order of 10 tons (minimum) of titanium powders, (ii) is now recommended by a leading 3D printer OEM to their customers, (iii) has
embraced a tolling strategy for its Drosrite™ system with joint venture discussions in progress, and (iv) interest by the US
Military for two (2) aircraft carrier systems continues. This is all within the background of being nominated “Materials
Company of the Year” at the 3D Printing Industry Awards 2018, and continued strategic commercial discussions with significant
players within the Additive Manufacturing industry,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Despite our daily
trading volume being respectable, we believe that the share price does not fully reflect this news. We find it inconceivable that
PyroGenesis is approximately half the market value than it was at the end of January 2018, particularly given the news released
since that time. As such, we feel it is an opportune time to buy PyroGenesis’ shares.”
