MAV Beauty Brands Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Canada NewsWire

CONCORD, ON, March 28, 2019 /CNW/ - MAV Beauty Brands Inc. ("MAV Beauty Brands" or the "Company") (TSX: MAV) today announced its intention to proceed with a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

The Company currently intends to use up to an aggregate maximum of US$5,000,000 of cash on hand on the NCIB. Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") the NCIB will commence on April 2, 2019 and end on April 1, 2020. MAV Beauty Brands' Board of Directors believes that a NCIB is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and represents an appropriate and desirable use of available cash to increase shareholder value, without materially impacting the Company's capital allocation strategy, leverage and ability to complete strategic acquisitions. As at March 1, 2019, the Company had approximately US$3.9 million of cash on hand.  Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made by MAV Beauty Brands subject to favourable market conditions at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems.

Subject to the US$5,000,000 aggregate repurchase price, MAV Beauty Brands currently intends to purchase up to 812,500 of its common shares (the "Shares"), representing approximately 2.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares. As at March 28, 2019 there were 37,577,169 Shares and 3,178 proportionate voting shares issued and outstanding.  Under the NCIB, other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, MAV Beauty Brands may purchase up to 14,753 Shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents approximately 25% of 59,014, which represents the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX's acceptance of the notice of the NCIB.  Any Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

In connection with the NCIB, the Company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan with a designated broker (the "ASPP"). The ASPP is intended to allow for the purchase of Shares under the NCIB at times when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Pursuant to the ASPP, before entering into a blackout period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the designated broker at its sole discretion based on purchasing parameters set by the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. The ASPP is subject to clearance by the TSX.  Outside of pre-determined blackout periods, Shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on management's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws.
