Repurchase of common shares
On June 16, 2023, the Company received approval of its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("2023 NCIB") to purchase for cancellation up to 10.2 million of its common shares through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq or other Canadian and U.S. marketplaces over a twelve month period beginning June 20, 2023 and ending June 19, 2024.
On June 19, 2023, the Normal Course Issuer Bid established as of June 20, 2022 (the “2022 NCIB”), expired. Under the 2022 NCIB, the Company was authorized to purchase for cancellation up to 10.6 million of its common shares through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq or other Canadian and U.S. marketplaces over a twelve month period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased 2,678,822 and 3,026,993 of its outstanding common shares at an average share price of $14.97 and $14.97 per share, respectively, for total consideration of $40.1 million and $45.3 million. All shares were cancelled upon purchase. During the three and six months ended, the difference of $0.8 million and $0.9 million between the total amount paid and the amount deducted from common shares of $39.3 million and $44.4 million was recorded as a direct charge to retained earnings. The amount deducted from common shares was determined based on the average paid in capital per common share outstanding prior to the repurchase date.
