/CNW/ – Boat Rocker Media Inc. (“Boat Rocker” or the “Company”) (TSX: BRMI), an independent, integrated global entertainment company, announced today that, subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), it intends to proceed with a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for its subordinate voting shares as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time.  The NCIB is expected to occur during the period from

September 1, 2022

to

August 31, 2023

.

Under the NCIB, and subject to the market price of its subordinate voting shares and other considerations, over the next 12 months Boat Rocker may purchase up to 1,000,000 subordinate voting shares, representing approximately 3% of its issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares as at

August 18

, 2022.  There were 32,708,791 subordinate voting shares outstanding as at

August 18, 2022

. Daily purchases will be limited to 1,527 subordinate voting shares, other than pursuant to block purchase exemptions. Purchases may be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or other Canadian alternative trading systems at the market price at the time of acquisition, as well as by other means as may be permitted by TSX rules and/or applicable securities laws. Boat Rocker has not made any purchases in the 12 months preceding the date of this notice pursuant to an NCIB.  Any tendered shares taken up and paid for by Boat Rocker will be cancelled.  The Company plans to fund the NCIB purchases from its existing cash balance.

The Company intends to enter into an automatic share purchase plan in relation to the NCIB that would allow for the purchase of its subordinate voting shares, subject to certain trading parameters, at times when Boat Rocker ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading black-out periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, shares will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion.

The Company is commencing the NCIB because management and the board believe that the market price of the Company’s subordinate voting shares does not reflect the intrinsic value of the Company and the repurchase of the stock would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and would represent an attractive and appropriate use of available funds. Decisions regarding the amount and timing of future purchases of subordinate voting shares will be based on market conditions, share price and other factors and will be at management’s discretion or as provided in an automatic share purchase plan.

An independent, integrated global entertainment company, Boat Rocker’s purpose is to tell stories and build iconic brands across all genres and mediums.
