TORONTO, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) (JSE: AII) announced that it repurchased and settled for cancellation a total of 228,900 of its common shares in the month of April 2026 under the Company's normal course issuer bid program ("NCIB"). The total represents 0.3% of Aimia's 88,790,285 common shares outstanding as at April 30, 2026.
Aimia's NCIB is a component of the Company's strategy for enhancing shareholder value and reducing the discount of its share price relative to the intrinsic value of its net assets.
Shares repurchased in April were at a weighted-average price of $2.79 per common share for a total settlement of $638,344 excluding brokerage fees.
Through April 30, 2026, Aimia has repurchased and cancelled 9,611,032 common shares since it first announced its share buyback initiative on June 4, 20241.
On June 4, 2025 Aimia announced the renewal of its NCIB through June 5, 2026 with approval to purchase for cancellation up to 5,906,629 of its common shares. Through April 30, 2026 Aimia has purchased and cancelled 3,489,700 shares or 59.1% of allowable shares in its current NCIB program.
Aimia believes that the market price of its common shares may, from time to time, not reflect the intrinsic value of the company, and that repurchases of common shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company's funds. Therefore, Aimia believes that it is in its best interest to proceed with this NCIB, while maintaining sufficient financial flexibility to execute on the Company's future strategic direction and capital allocation priorities.
