Enghouse Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid

MARKHAM, ON, May 2, 2024 /CNW/ - Enghouse Systems Limited ("Enghouse" or the "Company") (TSX: ENGH) today announced its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid for its common shares ("Common Shares") in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Enghouse continues to have significant cash reserves and positive cash flow. The Company is renewing its normal course issuer bid program, as it has done for many years, because it believes that from time to time the market price of its Common Shares may be attractive and that at such times, the purchase of Common Shares would be in the best interest of the Company and an appropriate use of corporate funds.

The Company may purchase up to a maximum of 3,000,000 Common Shares representing on April 25, 2024 approximately 6.9% of the publicly listed float of 43,253,219 Common Shares. On April 25, 2023, the Company had 55,413,617 outstanding Common Shares. The price at which the Company may purchase such shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition and any Common Shares purchased under the bid will be cancelled. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company, subject to price, trading volume and other market considerations. Daily purchases, other than block purchases, will be limited to 15,091 Common Shares which is 25% of 60,365 Common Shares (being the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the six months ended April 31, 2024).  An automatic purchase plan will not be put in place at the commencement of the bid but may be put in place at some point in the future.

The bid will commence on May 7, 2024 and will terminate on May 6, 2025, unless the maximum number of shares that may be purchased thereunder has been acquired before that time. The purchases will be made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and/or through other permitted means including through any alternative trading systems in Canada.  Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a normal course issuer bid, under which the Company sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 3,000,000 Common Shares for the period of May 2, 2023 to May 1, 2024, the Company acquired 51,257 of its Common Shares.
