Crescita Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: CTX and OTC US: CRRTF) (“Crescita” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented, innovation-driven Canadian commercial dermatology company, today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has approved the Company’s proposed normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to a maximum of 1,478,854 common shares (“Common Shares”) for cancellation, representing approximately 10% of its public float as of September 16, 2024, as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time. As of September 16, 2024, the Company had 19,186,136 issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Crescita’s management and board of directors believe that the current market price of the Common Shares may not represent the underlying value of the Company and has determined that, subject to future price movements and other factors, the repurchase of such Common Shares may be a desirable use of funds and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Purchases under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX or through a Canadian alternative trading system and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements at a price per Common Share representative of the market price at the time of acquisition. The number of Common Shares that can be purchased pursuant to the NCIB is subject to a current daily maximum of 3,682 Common Shares (which is equal to 25% of 14,731 being the average daily trading volume from March 1, 2024 through to August 31, 2024), subject to the Company’s ability to make one block purchase of Common Shares per calendar week that exceeds such limits. All Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase. The Company intends to fund the purchases from its available resources.

The Company may begin to purchase Common Shares on September 27, 2024 and the NCIB will terminate on September 26, 2025 or such earlier time as the Company completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB or provides notice of termination. The Company has also entered into an automatic securities purchase plan in connection with its NCIB that contains strict parameters regarding how its Common Shares may be repurchased during times when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. The automatic securities purchase plan is effective on September 27, 2024.

Pursuant to the Company’s previous normal course issuer bid that commenced on August 31, 2023 and ended on August 30, 2024, 1,188,017 Common Shares were purchased at a weighted average price of $0.53 per share. Purchases were made on behalf of the Company by its broker through the facilities of the TSX. Crescita was permitted to acquire up to 1,821,616 Common Shares under its previous normal course issuer bid.

Forward-looking Information

Certain statements in this press release constitute forward-looking statements and/or forward-looking information (collectively “forward-looking information”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All information in this press release, other than statements of current and historical fact, represents forward-looking information and is qualified by this cautionary note.

Forward-looking information may relate to the Company’s future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include information regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy, growth strategies, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans, objectives, and expectations. Such information is provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of the Company’s anticipated financial position, results of operations and operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as: “outlook”, “objective”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “seek”, “believe”, “aim”, “project”, “estimate”, “expect”, “strategy”, “future”, “likely”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “growth strategy”, “future”, “prospects”, “continue”, and similar references to future periods or suggesting future outcomes or events. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information.

Examples of forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements made in this press release relating to the number of Common Shares to be acquired under the NCIB and other related matters.

Forward-looking information is neither historical fact nor assurance of future performance. Instead, it reflects management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions and is based only on information currently available to us. Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management of the Company as of the date of this press release, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control.

The Company’s estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, include various assumptions regarding, among other things: the Company’s future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities; the Company’s ability to retain and recruit, as applicable, customers, members of management and key personnel; industry trends; legislative or regulatory matters, including expected changes to laws and regulations and the effects of such changes; future levels of indebtedness; availability of capital; the Company’s ability to secure additional capital and source and complete acquisitions; the Company’s ability to maintain and expand its market presence and geographic scope; current economic conditions; the impact of currency exchange and interest rates; the Company’s ability to maintain existing financing and insurance on acceptable terms; the Company’s ability to execute on, and the impact of, its environmental, social and governance initiatives; the impact of competition; and the Company’s ability to respond to changes to its industry and the global economy.

Forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties that could cause Crescita’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking information. Important factors that could cause such differences include, among others:

  • economic and market conditions, including factors impacting global supply chains such as pandemics and geopolitical conflicts and tensions;
  • the impact of inflation and fluctuating interest rates;
  • the Company’s ability to execute its growth strategies;
  • the degree or lack of market acceptance of the Company’s products;
  • reliance on third parties for marketing, distribution and commercialization, and clinical trials;
  • the impact of variations in the values of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar and Euro;
  • the impact of the volatility in financial markets;
  • the Company’s ability to retain members of its management team and key personnel;
  • the impact of changing conditions in the regulatory environment and product development processes;
  • manufacturing and supply risks;
  • increasing competition in the industries in which the Company operates;
  • the Company’s ability to meet its contractual obligations;
  • the impact of product liability matters;
  • the impact of litigation involving the Company and/or its products;
  • the impact of changes in relationships with customers and suppliers;
  • the degree of intellectual property protection of the Company’s products;
  • developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations, and;
  • other risk factors described from time to time in the reports and disclosure documents filed by Crescita with Canadian securities regulatory agencies and commissions, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form.

If any risks or uncertainties with respect to the above materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may impact the Company’s forward-looking information. Although management has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known or that management believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date provided, and is subject to change after such date. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking information, whether written or oral, that may be provided from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
