TOROMONT INDUSTRIES LTD. – RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2025 /CNW/ – Toromont Industries Ltd. (“Toromont” or, “the Company”), (TSX: TIH) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the notice filed by the Company of its intention to renew it’s normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for a portion of its Common Shares.
Under the NCIB, Toromont is entitled to purchase up to 8,128,838 Common Shares (“Common Shares”), representing 10% of its 81,288,380 Common Shares in the “public float” (as defined by the TSX) as of September 12, 2025. Purchases may commence on September 23, 2025 and continue until September 22, 2026, when the NCIB expires, or on such earlier date on which the NCIB is complete. Toromont had 81,367,784 Common Shares issued and outstanding as at September 12, 2025.
Based on the average daily trading volume of 143,676 during the last six-months, daily purchases will be limited to 35,919 Common Shares other than block purchase exemptions under the TSX rules. Purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at the market price at the time of purchase. All shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.
Toromont believes that, from time-to-time, the market price of its Common Shares may be such that their purchase may be an attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds. The NCIB will provide the Company with additional flexibility to manage capital.
Toromont has entered into an automatic securities purchase plan (“ASPP”) with a designated broker in order to facilitate the repurchase of Common Shares under the NCIB. During the effective period of Toromont’s ASPP, Toromont’s broker may purchase Common Shares at times when the Company would not be active in the market due to insider trading rules and its own internal trading blackout periods. Purchases will be made by Toromont’s broker based upon parameters set by Toromont when it is not in possession of any material non-public information about itself and its securities, and in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Outside of the effective period of the ASPP, Common Shares may continue to be purchased in accordance with Toromont’s discretion, subject to applicable law. The ASPP has been entered into in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws and TSX rules.
Under its previous NCIB that commenced on September 21, 2024 and expires on September 20, 2025, Toromont was approved to repurchase up to 8,180,146 Common Shares. A total of 986,000 Common Shares were repurchased during this period, at an average price of $116.47 CAD per share. The purchases were made through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems.
