CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pulse Seismic Inc. (TSX:PSD) (OTCQX:PLSDF) (“Pulse” or the “Company”) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the Company’s Notice of Intention to commence a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”).The NCIB allows Pulse to purchase up to 3,097,433 common shares (representing 10 percent of the public float of 30,974,330 common shares as at October 20, 2023). All shares will be purchased through the facilities of the TSX, or alternative trading platforms and all shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled. The duration of the normal course issuer bid will be from November 2, 2023 through November 1, 2023. As of October 28, 2023, there were 53,793,317 common shares issued and outstanding.
The Company’s purchase of shares during any trading day will not exceed 8,113 common shares (representing 25 percent of the average daily trading volume of 32,455 shares traded on the TSX during the most recently completed six calendar months preceding the filing of the Notice of Intention), subject to Pulse’s ability to make block purchases in accordance with the TSX facilities and rules.
