Matrikon, Inc. News
| Matrikon™ Announces Share Buyback Program | ||
|
||
Matrikon Inc. (TSX:MTK) announced today that it intends to make a normal course issuer bid to purchase its common shares. Under the bid, Matrikon intends to acquire up to 1,559,248 common shares, representing not more than 5% of the 31,184,959 common shares issued and outstanding as of May 1, 2006. The bid will commence May 17, 2006 and end May 17, 2007. Matrikon believes that the market price for its common shares does not at times accurately reflect the value of its business or its future prospects. The share buyback represents an opportunity to enhance value for shareholders and will not impair our ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities. Matrikon president and CEO, Amin Rawji, commented on the share buyback: "Matrikon is in a very strong financial position with $16.6 million in the bank at the end of our last quarter. We are pleased to be able to enhance shareholder value while at the same time remaining well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities, both organic and through acquisitions." Any shares purchased by Matrikon under the bid will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") pursuant to the rules of the TSX governing normal course issuer bids. The price that Matrikon will pay for any common shares purchased pursuant to the bid will be the prevailing market price of such shares on the TSX at the time of such purchase. The common shares will be cancelled after purchase. The Toronto Stock Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved of the information contained herein.
