Largo Inc. (“Largo” or the “Company”) (TSX: LGO) (NASDAQ: LGO) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has accepted its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation its common shares (the “Common Shares”).
Largo believes that the market price of its Common Shares does not always adequately reflect its underlying fundamental value and future business prospects. Largo may purchase Common Shares from time to time under the NCIB if it believes that the market price of the Common Shares is attractive, and that the purchase would be an appropriate use of available corporate funds and in Largo’s best interest.
Largo may purchase up to 3,641,098 Common Shares under the NCIB, representing approximately 10% of the public float of 36,410,986 Common Shares, as at May 20, 2022. Purchases of Common Shares may be effected through the facilities of the TSX, NASDAQ, and alternative trading systems during the period starting on June 1, 2022 and ending no later than May 31, 2023. Other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, daily purchases on the TSX under the NCIB will be limited to 24,510 Common Shares, being approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of 98,042 Common Shares on the TSX for the six calendar months prior to the TSX’s acceptance of notice of the NCIB.
The price that Largo will pay for any Common Shares will be the market price at the time of purchase. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased pursuant under the NCIB and timing of any such purchases will be determined by Largo.
As at May 20, 2022 there were 64,825,219 Common Shares outstanding.
