TSX Accepts Notice of Intention to Make Normal Course Issuer
Bid
Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG, NYSE: MGA)
today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") had
accepted its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid
(the "Notice"). Pursuant to the Notice, Magna may purchase up to
300,000 Magna Common Shares (the "Bid"), representing approximately
0.11% of its public float. As at February 1, 2024, Magna had
286,780,238 issued and outstanding Common Shares, including a
public float of 286,433,600 Common Shares.
The primary purposes of the Bid are purchases for cancellation,
as well as purchases to fund Magna’s stock-based compensation
awards or programs and/or Magna’s obligations to its deferred
profit sharing plans. Magna may purchase its Common Shares, from
time to time, if it believes that the market price of its Common
Shares is attractive and that the purchase would be an appropriate
use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the
Corporation.
The Bid will commence on February 15, 2024 and will terminate no
later than February 14, 2025. All purchases of Common Shares under
the Bid may be made on the TSX, at the market price at the time of
purchase in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX or on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") in compliance with Rule 10b-18
under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition to
purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX
and NYSE, Magna may also make purchases through alternative trading
systems in Canada and the United States, and by private agreement
or under a specific share repurchase program pursuant to an issuer
bid exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority (a
“Specific Share Repurchase Program”). Purchases made by way of such
private agreements or Specific Share Repurchase Program will be at
a discount to the prevailing market price. The rules and policies
of the TSX contain restrictions on the number of shares that can be
purchased under the Bid, based on the average daily trading volumes
of the Common Shares on the TSX. Similarly, the safe harbor
conditions of Rule 10b-18 impose certain limitations on the number
of shares that can be purchased on the NYSE per day. As a result of
such restrictions, subject to certain exceptions for block
purchases, the maximum number of shares which can be purchased per
day during the Bid on the TSX is 202,962 based on 25% of the
average daily trading volume for the prior six months (being
811,850 Common Shares on the TSX). Subject to certain exceptions
for block purchases, the maximum number of shares which can be
purchased per day on the NYSE will be 25% of the average daily
trading volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of
purchase. Subject to regulatory requirements, the actual number of
Common Shares purchased and the timing of such purchases, if any,
will be determined by Magna having regard to future price movements
and other factors. All purchases will be subject to Magna’s normal
trading blackouts. Any purchases made during a blackout period will
only be made pursuant to a pre-defined automatic securities
purchase plan that Magna may enter into with its designated
broker.
Magna’s normal course issuer bid announced in November 2022 for
the purchase of up to 28,445,000 Common Shares expired on November
14, 2023. As at the close of trading on November 14, 2023, Magna
had purchased 245,904 Common Shares at a weighted-average price of
US$54.15. Purchases were made on open market through the facilities
of the TSX and NYSE as well as through alternative trading systems
in Canada and the United States.
