REGINA, SK, Dec. 11, 2023 /CNW/ - SSC Security Services Corp. ("SSC" or the "Company") (TSXV: SECU) (OTCQX: SECUF), a leading provider of cyber, physical and electronic security services, announced today an intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") for up to 1,200,000 of its Class A common shares (the "Shares"), representing approximately 10% of SSC's public float.
Subject to, and only upon receipt of final approval by TSX Venture Exchange, the Bid will commence on January 4, 2024 and continue until the earlier of January 3, 2025 and the date by which SSC has acquired the maximum Shares which may be purchased under the Bid. The Bid will be made through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other "designated exchange" as that term is defined by applicable Canadian securities laws, and the purchase and payment for the Shares will be made in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange requirements, or such other designated exchange, at the market price of the Shares at the time of acquisition. All Shares purchased by SSC under the Bid will be cancelled.
SSC has appointed CIBC Capital Markets as its broker to conduct the normal course issuer bid transactions.
Management of SSC believes that the Shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect their value and that the purchase of the Shares under the Bid will enhance shareholder value in general.
SSC previously purchased 1,695,540 Shares under an NCIB that expired on December 13, 2019, 766,904 Shares under an NCIB that expired on December 17, 2020, 606,433 Shares under an NCIB which expired on January 3, 2022, 379,300 under an NCIB which expired on January 3, 2023, and 302,200 to date under an NCIB that began on January 4, 2023 and expires on January 3, 2024. Additionally, SSC previously purchased 5,362,694 Shares under a substantial issuer bid previously announced on July 15, 2019 and 2,472,895 Shares under a substantial issuer bid previously announced on March 6, 2020. (All share numbers have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-3 share consolidation which took place on October 1, 2021).
