Goldmoney Inc. Announces Approval to Amend Normal Course Issuer Bid

Feb 16, 2023

TORONTO – (February 16, 2023) – Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (“Goldmoney” or the “Company”) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the notice filed by the Company to amend its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”). The amendment is effective as of February 21, 2023, and increases the maximum number of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company that may be repurchased, from 3,700,000 Common Shares representing approximately 4.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares as at August 17, 2022 to 5,487,786 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's ‘public float’ as at August 17, 2022

Daily repurchases will be limited to a maximum of 6,507 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months ended July 31, 2022 (being 26,031 Common Shares), except where purchases are made in accordance with the "block purchase exception" of the TSX rules. No other terms of the NCIB have been amended.

Purchases under the NCIB began on August 30, 2022 and will terminate no later than August 29, 2023, and are made by way of normal course purchases effected through the facilities of the TSX or alternative Canadian trading systems. Goldmoney reserves the right to terminate the NCIB earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so. Under its current NCIB, as of February 10, 2023, the Company has repurchased 832,014 Common Shares, at a weighted-average price of $1.76. 

In deciding to amend the NCIB, the Board of directors believes that the market price of the Common Shares may not, from time to time, fully reflect their long-term value. Accordingly, the purchase of the Common Shares under the amended NCIB is in the best interests of the Company and an attractive and appropriate use of available funds. Although the Company has a present intention to acquire its Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB, the Company will not be obligated to make any purchases and purchases may be suspended by the Company at any time.
