NEW YORK and TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The INX Digital Company, Inc. (NEO: INXD, INXATS: INX, OTCQB: INXDF) ("INX" or the "Company"), the owner of digital asset trading platforms, is pleased to announce that it intends to renew its normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB") program to repurchase common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"). Simultaneously with the NCIB renewal, INX's subsidiary INX Limited is announcing that it intends to renew its previously disclosed INX Token repurchase program.
Pursuant to the NCIB, which has been accepted by the Neo Exchange Inc., operating as Cboe Canada (the "NEO Exchange"), the Company may purchase up to a maximum of 12,713,823 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float of its Common Shares as of July 28, 2023, provided that the aggregate purchase price for any Common Shares acquired under the NCIB, and the aggregate purchase price for any tokens of INX Limited ("INX Tokens") acquired under its token repurchase program during the term of the NCIB must not exceed US$5 million.
Purchases under the NCIB may be made through open market transactions on the NEO Exchange and/or any Canadian alternative trading systems on which the Common Shares are traded, based on the prevailing market price. In accordance with NEO Exchange rules, daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) under the NCIB cannot exceed 31,348 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume on the NEO Exchange, being 125,392 Common Shares as measured from January 26, 2023, to July 26, 2023. Any Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be canceled.
Under the INX Limited token repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, all in compliance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of tokens, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of INX Limited. INX Tokens purchased under the INX Limited token repurchase program will be retired. The timing and actual number of INX Tokens repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, and applicable regulatory requirements.
Transactions under the NCIB will depend on future market conditions. The Company will retain discretion on whether to make purchases under the NCIB and to determine the timing, amount, and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable NEO Exchange and other regulatory requirements. The Company believes that the purchase of Common Shares from time to time can be undertaken at prices that do not fully reflect their value. The Company believes that, in such circumstances, the repurchase of Common Shares represents an appropriate use of the Company's available funds to support shareholder value.
The Company has appointed PI Financial Corp. as the broker through which the Company will conduct purchases under the NCIB. The purchases will be completed pursuant to the policies of the NEO Exchange.
The period during which the Company will be authorized to make purchases under the NCIB, and which INX Limited will be authorized to make purchases under the token repurchase program will commence on August 11, 2023, and end at the earliest of (i) August 10, 2024, (ii) such earlier date on which the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares are purchased under the NCIB, or (iii) such earlier date on which the aggregate purchase price for Common Shares under the NCIB and the INX Tokens under the INX Limited token purchase program for INX Tokens reaches US$5 million.
Under its prior NCIB that commenced on March 23, 2022, and expired on March 23, 2023, INX received approval from the NEO Exchange to purchase up to a maximum of 10,206,807 Common Shares. INX purchased 96,500 Common Shares under its prior NCIB through open market purchases on the NEO Exchange. No INX Tokens were repurchased by the Company under the prior token repurchase program, which was in place during the 2022 calendar year.
