Intercontinental Gold and Metals Ltd. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
Toronto, May 11, 2018 - Intercontinental Gold and Metals Ltd. (TSXV: ICAU) (the "Company") is pleased to announce today that it intends to proceed with a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 877,873 of its common shares (the "Bid"). The Company is commencing the Bid because it believes that the current market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and future prospects. The Company believes that the repurchase of its common shares for cancellation is in the best interests of its shareholders because the Bid will increase the respective proportionate shareholdings and equity interests in the Company of all remaining shareholders.
As at the date hereof, the Company has 17,557,464 common shares issued and outstanding. The 877,873 common shares that may be purchased by the Company under the Bid represent approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding. The Company received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to commence the Bid on May 14, 2018. The Bid will terminate on May 14, 2019, or an earlier date in the event that the number of common shares sought in the Bid has been repurchased. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Bid earlier if it feels appropriate to do so.
All common shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV, and payment for the common shares will be made in accordance with TSXV policies. The price paid for the common shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase. Purchases may be suspended at any time, and no purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the Bid.
The Company has engaged Integral Wealth Securities to act as broker through which the Bid will be conducted.
