Radius Care Announces On-market Share Buyback Programme
In accordance with Listing Rule 4.14.2 and 4.14.1(a), Radius Residential Care Limited
(NZX: RAD) announces its intention to commence an on-market share buyback
programme to purchase up to 0.7% of its ordinary shares.
This programme demonstrates the Board’s confidence that Radius Care’s strategy
and growth opportunities will grow shareholder value over the long term, and
reflects the Board’s view that the company’s shares are undervalued. The Board
believes that the strength of Radius Care’s operations and cash flow generation
allows the company to continue investing to deliver long term growth, while paying
fully imputed dividends, repaying debt and buying back shares, depending on
market conditions.
The buyback may occur from 23 December 2024 for a period of up to 12 months from
the date of this notice. The total number of shares that may be bought back shall
not exceed 2,000,000 shares. The number of shares purchased under the buyback
programme from time to time will be notified to the NZX within one business day
following the date on which those shares are acquired. Shares will be cancelled upon
acquisition and the number of shares on issue will reduce accordingly.
The buyback will be conducted in reliance on Clause 5 of the Takeovers Code (Class
Exemptions) Notice (No 2) 2001 in respect of those shareholders owning greater
than 20%.
The buyback programme will not run during any “Black-out Periods” (as described
in the company's Financial Product Trading Policy).
