At No Fault of Their Own, Many Equities Are Now Temporarily Undervalued as a Result of the Coronavirus
Psychedelics Firm Champignon Brands Set to Buy Back up to 2.41 Million Shares While SHRM Stock is Undervalued
Champignon Brands (CSE: SHRM) (OTC: SHRMF) (FRA: 496) announced on Friday that it intends to begin a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,411,883 common shares, representing 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares as of March 20, 2020.
A Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) is a term used in Canada for a type of stock buyback. Investopedia describes an NCIB as the following:
“A normal-course issuer bid is a Canadian term for a company repurchasing its own stock from the public in order to cancel it. In a normal course issuer bid (NCIB), a company is allowed to repurchase between 5% and 10% of its shares, depending on how the transaction is conducted. The issuer repurchases the shares gradually over a period of time, such as one year. This repurchasing strategy allows the company to buy only when its stock is favourably priced.”
Champignon Brands is taking this action because the company believes that current market conditions have resulted in Champignon’s shares being undervalued relative to the immediate and long-term value of its vertically integrated alternative medicine product range.
Pursuant to the NCIB, the company may, if considered advisable, purchase the common shares through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and/or alternative trading systems, from time to time, over the next 12 months.
Purchases may commence through the CSE and/or alternative trading systems on March 27, 2020, and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed or March 27, 2021. All common shares purchased by the company will be cancelled. Champignon has appointed PI Financial Corp. to coordinate and facilitate its NCIB purchases.
