MTY Food Group Inc. announces renewal of normal course issuer bid

T.MTY

MONTREAL, June 28, 2024 /CNW/ - MTY Food Group Inc. ("MTY" or the "Company") (TSX: MTY), franchisor and operator of multiple concepts of restaurants, has been informed that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has approved the renewal of MTY's normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

Under the normal course issuer bid, MTY may purchase for cancellation up to 1,196,513 common shares during the period starting July 3, 2024 and ending July 2, 2025, representing approximately 5% of the 23,930,261 outstanding common shares, as at June 21, 2024. MTY will make any purchases in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX and through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading systems in Canada at the prevailing market prices.

Under its previous NCIB, which entered into effect on July 3, 2023 and which expires on July 2, 2024, MTY was authorized to purchase 1,220,673 common shares. As of June 21, 2024, MTY repurchased 498,000 common shares at a weighted average price paid per security of $48.41 through the facilities of the TSX and on alternative trading systems in Canada.

The average daily trading volume for the common shares on the TSX during the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, was 45,801 common shares. As a result, under the TSX's rules, MTY may purchase a maximum of 11,450 common shares (being 25% of the average daily trading volume) on any one day, except pursuant to permitted block purchase exception. The actual number of common shares to be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will generally be determined by MTY from time to time as market conditions warrant. In addition, MTY may from time to time repurchase common shares under an automatic securities purchase plan it will enter into, concurrent to the NCIB, with a broker, which will enable purchases during times when MTY would typically not be permitted to purchase its shares due to regulatory or other reasons.

The Board of Directors and senior management of MTY are of the opinion that from time to time the purchase of common shares at prevailing market prices is a worthwhile capital allocation strategy and is in the best interest of the Company.
