Sailfish Royalty Announces Amendment and Increase to Normal Course Issuer Bid
TORTOLA, Oct. 6, 2020 - Sailfish Royalty Corp. (TSX-V: FISH) (the "Company" or "Sailfish") announces that it has filed with the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") a notice of its intention to amend its previously announced Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to increase the number of common shares of the Company (the "Shares") which the Company may repurchase for cancellation under the bid from 2,089,799 Shares, or 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares as of the date of commencement of the Bid, less 819,000 common shares of the Company purchased under the Company's previous normal course issuer bid between October 8, 2019 and June 24, 2020, to 2,963,322 Shares, representing 5% of the Company's 75,646,451 Shares issued and outstanding as of October 2, 2020, less the 819,000 common shares of the Company purchased under the Company's previous normal course issuer bid between October 8, 2019 and June 24, 2020. Under the Bid, which commenced on July 6, 2020, the Company has repurchased a total of 1,237,400 Shares at a weighted average price of $1.4359 per Share as of the date hereof.
Other than the increase to the maximum number of Shares which may be purchased by the Company pursuant to the Bid, no further amendments have been made to the Bid, and the Bid is still set to terminate on July 6, 2021. For further details regarding the Bid, please refer to the Company's prior news release dated July 6, 2020.
The Board of Directors of the Company continue to believe that the recent market prices of the Shares do not properly reflect the underlying value of such shares. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that the purchase of the Shares would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Shares by increasing their equity interest in the Company if the repurchased Shares are cancelled.
The amendment to the Bid is subject to Exchange approval.
