Nov 20, 2018, 07:15 ET
TORONTO, Nov. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Cannabis Growth Opportunity Corporation ("CGOC", or the "Company") (CSE: CGOC), a cannabis focused investment corporation with both public and private cannabis holdings, announces its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), to purchase up to an aggregate of 782,607 common shares (the "Common Shares"), representing 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares as of November 15, 2018.
Jamie Blundell, President and Chief Operating Officer of CGOC commented, "The Board of Directors and management team are committed to the continued success of the Company. Our Net Asset Value has illustrated the positive growth that the Company has experienced through its actively managed portfolio, which is not represented in the current share price and does not reflect future prospects. The NCIB will allow us to be opportunistic and repurchase the shares at what we believe is a significantly discounted price."
NCIB
Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may, if considered advisable, purchase the Common Shares through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and/or alternative trading systems, from time to time over the next 12 months.
Purchases may commence through the CSE and/or alternative trading systems on November 26, 2018 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed or November 26, 2019. All Common Shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled. The Company has appointed BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., to coordinate and facilitate its NCIB purchases.
