International Petroleum Corporation Announces Share Buyback Program
International Petroleum Corporation (IPC) has embarked on a significant share repurchase initiative aimed at bolstering shareholder value. Recently, IPC reported that between February 3 and 7, the corporation successfully repurchased 407,001 shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB). This proactive measure underscores IPC’s commitment to utilizing its available resources effectively.
Understanding the Normal Course Issuer Bid
The NCIB, introduced by IPC on December 3, enables the corporation to repurchase its shares in compliance with relevant market regulations, including those set by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and Nasdaq Stockholm. By adhering to the guidelines established under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, IPC ensures that its activities are transparent and beneficial to shareholders.
Recent Share Repurchases
During the designated period of February 3 to 7, IPC executed a total of 330,941 share repurchases on Nasdaq Stockholm, all facilitated by Pareto Securities AB. Furthermore, an additional 76,060 shares were repurchased on the TSX through ATB Securities Inc. Each share repurchased will be canceled, reducing the total number of outstanding shares and potentially increasing the value of remaining shares for shareholders.
Current Standing and Future Plans
As of February 10, IPC holds a total of 117,781,927 issued and outstanding common shares, with 508,853 currently held in treasury. This strategic repurchase program has been effective since December 5, with a maximum share repurchase cap of 7,465,356 shares over the year-long program. This initiative reflects IPC’s intent to return value to its shareholders while maintaining a robust capital structure.
