Radius Share Buyback Programme to Continue
Radius Residential Care Limited (NZX: RAD) announced on 18 December 2024 that
it was commencing a share buyback programme for a maximum of 2,000,000
shares, or 0.7% of its ordinary shares.
A total of 197,353 shares have been purchased to date, 0.07% of the shares on issue
prior to the buyback commencing.
Following the release on Wednesday 21 May of Radius Care’s audited financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, Radius Care advises that the share
buyback programme will continue.
The continuation of 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 enabling dividend growth, debt repayment and buying back shares,
depending on market conditions.
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).
Throughout the buyback period, Radius Care will continue to assess market
conditions, its prevailing share price, available investment opportunities and all
other relevant considerations. Radius Care reserves the right to suspend without
notice or terminate the buyback programme at any time.
