VANCOUVER, Feb. 5, 2020 /CNW/ - Minco Capital Corp. (the "Company" or "Minco Capital") (TSX-V: MMM/OTCQX: MGHCF/FSE:MI5) today announced that it has received conditional acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") to purchase for cancellation, during the 12-month period starting February 10, 2020, up to 2,427,844 or 5% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares. The program will end on February 9, 2021 unless the maximum amount of Common Shares is purchased before then or Minco Capital provides earlier notice of termination. Purchases will be made on the TSXV and alternative exchanges at the market price at the time of acquisition. Payment for the shares will be in accordance with TSXV policies. The Company reserves the right to terminate the NCIB earlier if it feels it is appropriate to do so.
Minco Capital believes that the market price of its Common Shares may not reflect their underlying value and the Board of Directors has authorized this initiative because, in the Board's opinion, the proposed purchase of Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB constitutes an appropriate use of Minco Capital's funds, and the repurchase of its Common Shares are expected to benefit all remaining shareholders by increasing their equity interest in the Company.
The TSXV allows for purchase up to 2% of Common Shares in a given 30-day period. No purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions or by such other means as may be permitted under applicable securities laws during the term of the NCIB. The shares purchased by the Company will be returned to treasury for cancellation.
Raymond James Ltd. will conduct the NCIB on behalf of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Company currently intends to sell any common shares under the NCIB.
Shareholders can obtain a copy of the NCIB, without charge, by contacting the Company.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

President
