DOLLARAMA ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
Dollarama Inc. has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB).
Pursuant to the NCIB, the corporation may, during the 12-month period starting on July 7, 2026, and ending no later than July 6, 2027, purchase up to 13,532,086 of its common shares, representing 5.0 per cent of the corporation's issued and outstanding common shares as at the close of markets on June 30, 2026 (a total of 270,641,726 common shares were issued and outstanding as of such date).
Purchases will be conducted through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by the applicable securities regulators or under applicable securities laws. Dollarama may also purchase common shares by way of private agreements or specific share repurchase programs under issuer bid exemption orders issued by a securities regulatory authority. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems will be at the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. Purchases made by way of private agreement under any applicable issuer bid exemption or order issued by a securities regulatory authority (including in connection with a specific share repurchase program) will be at a discount to the prevailing market price.
All shares purchased pursuant to the NCIB will either be cancelled or placed in trust to facilitate the holding and administering of common shares that may be purchased by the corporation to hedge its exposure in respect of grants made under its performance share unit plan, including to settle the corporation's obligations under such plan.
The average daily trading volume of the common shares on the TSX over the period between Jan. 1, 2026, and June 30, 2026, as calculated per TSX rules, was 708,620 common shares. Consequently, under TSX rules, Dollarama will be allowed to purchase daily, through the facilities of the TSX, a maximum of 177,155 common shares, representing 25 per cent of such average daily trading volume. In addition, Dollarama may make, once per week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX company manual) of common shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Dollarama, in accordance with TSX rules.
In connection with the NCIB, Dollarama will also enter, on or about the date hereof, into an automatic securities purchase plan agreement (APP) with a designated broker to facilitate purchases of its common shares under the NCIB, subject to certain trading parameters, at times when it would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its securities due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed trading blackout periods. The terms of the APP have been precleared by the TSX. Outside of such blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the NCIB by Dollarama at its discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws.
Under the NCIB that is set to expire on July 6, 2026, Dollarama received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 13,865,588 common shares. As at June 30, 2026, Dollarama had purchased a total of 6,835,200 common shares thereunder, at a weighted average price of $183.90 per common share. Such purchases were effected through the facilities of the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems.
The board of directors of Dollarama believes that the purchase by Dollarama of its common shares from time to time represents an appropriate and desirable use of its available funds as part of its capital allocation strategy to enhance shareholder value.
