VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digihost Technology Inc. ( TSX-V: DGHI; OTCPK: HSSHF ) ( “Digihost” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has received approval to undertake, at the Company’s discretion, a normal course issuer bid program to purchase up to 2,003,683 of its subordinate voting shares for cancellation (the “ Bid ”).
The Company is commencing the Bid because it believes that from time to time the market price of its subordinate voting shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business, and that the repurchase of its subordinate voting shares at those times would be in the best interests of its shareholders.
As of the date hereof, the Company has 40,073,661 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding. The maximum number of subordinate voting shares that may be purchased by the Company under the Bid represents approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Shares repurchased under the Bid will be returned to treasury for cancellation. The Company received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”) to commence the Bid on December 10, 2020. The Bid will terminate on December 10, 2021, or on an earlier date in the event that the maximum number of common shares sought in the Bid has been repurchased. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Bid at any time.
Purchases pursuant to the Bid are expected to be made through the facilities of the TSXV, or such other permitted means (including through alternative trading systems in Canada), at prevailing market prices.
The Company has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. to act as the broker through which the Bid will be conducted.
