Base Carbon Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, June 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Base Carbon Inc. (Cboe CA: BCBN) (OTCQX: BCBNF) with operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Base Carbon Capital Partners Corp. (together, with affiliates, “Base Carbon”, or the “Company”), announced today that Cboe Canada has approved the Company’s renewed normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase, for cancellation, up to 7,571,314 of Base Carbon’s common shares (“Common Shares”).

The Company’s current normal course issuer bid will end on June 20, 2024, and pursuant to the renewed NCIB, Base Carbon may purchase over a period of 12 months starting June 21, 2024, and ending June 20, 2025, up to 7,571,314 Common Shares representing approximately 6.5% of the 115,995,334 issued and outstanding Common Shares and 10% of the Company’s public float as of June 17, 2024. On any given day during the NCIB, Base Carbon may purchase up to 49,709 Common Shares which is equivalent to 25% of the average daily trading volume of 198,834 for the previous six months, which excludes purchases made under the current normal course issuer bid. Block trades for a greater number of Common Shares may be made once per calendar week.

Purchases under the NCIB may commence as of June 21, 2024 and will end on the earlier of: (i) June 20, 2025; or (ii) the date on which Base Carbon has purchased the maximum number of Common Shares which may be acquired under the NCIB. The purchases made will be done in accordance with the rules of Cboe Canada, through the facilities of Cboe Canada or through alternative trading systems. The actual number of Common Shares which will be purchased, and the timing and price of such purchases will be determined by the Company in accordance with Cboe Canada’s Listing Manual and guidelines. Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be returned to treasury for cancellation. As of June 17, 2024, the Company had purchased 4,702,702 Common Shares under its existing NCIB.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the market price of the Common Shares may from time to time not reflect the underlying value of Base Carbon, including its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Common Shares through the NCIB is in the best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds.

The Company has also entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with a broker in order to facilitate repurchases of Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB. During the effective period of Base Carbon's ASPP, Base Carbon's broker may purchase Common Shares at times when the Company would not be active in the market due to insider trading rules and its own internal trading blackout periods. Purchases will be made by the Company's broker based upon parameters set by the Company when it is not in possession of any material non-public information about itself and its securities, and in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Outside of the effective period of the ASPP, Common Shares may continue to be purchased pursuant to Base Carbon's discretion, subject to applicable law. The ASPP has been entered into in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.
