Trading Symbol: Toronto Stock Exchange – HDI
LANGLEY, BC, Feb. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - Hardwoods Distribution Inc.
("HDI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has
accepted a notice filed by the Company of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to be transacted
through the facilities of the TSX or any alternative Canadian trading system.
The notice provides that the Company may, during the 12-month period commencing on February 5,
2019 and ending on February 4, 2020, purchase up to 1,612,147 of its common shares
("Shares") in total, being approximately 10% of the Company's Public Float (as that term is defined in the policies of the
TSX) based on 21,539,116 issued and outstanding Shares as at January 30, 2019. The price
which the Company will pay for any such Shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. The actual
number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Bid will be determined by management of the Company. All Shares
will be purchased for cancellation.
Pursuant to TSX policies, the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased in one day pursuant to the Bid will be 10,730,
representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX. In addition, the Company may make, once per
week, a block purchase of Shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of the Company, in accordance with TSX
policies.
The Board of Directors believes the underlying value of the Company may not be reflected in the current market price of its
Shares. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that the purchase of the
Shares would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to
benefit all persons who continue to hold Shares by increasing their equity interest in the Company when the repurchased Shares
are cancelled.
