Cypherpunk Holdings Inc. (CSE: HODL) (OTC Pink: CYFRF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”). Under this program, the Company may purchase up to 8,003,535 common shares over a period of one year (the “NCIB Period”), representing approximately 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Additionally, up to 3,201,414 common shares may be purchased over any 30-day period within the NCIB Period, equating to 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares.
The NCIB is expected to begin on or about January 25, 2023, and will continue until the earlier of January 24, 2024, or the date by which the Company has acquired the maximum number of common shares permissible under the NCIB.
All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be bought on the open market through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase and will be duly cancelled and returned to treasury.
The Company believes that the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the intrinsic value of its business and prospects. As such, the Company considers repurchasing its own shares for cancellation to be a suitable strategy for enhancing long-term shareholder value and an appropriate use of its financial resources. The Company intends to appoint Canaccord Genuity as its broker to conduct the NCIB transactions on its behalf.
