PHX ENERGY RECEIVES TSX APPROVAL FOR RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted PHX Energy Services Corp.'s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid for a further one-year term. The previous NCIB expires on Aug. 17, 2026.
Under the renewed NCIB, PHX Energy may purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as PHX Energy considers advisable, up to a maximum of 4,137,577 common shares, which represent 10 per cent of the corporation's public float of 41,375,778 common shares as at Aug. 6, 2026. Purchases of common shares may be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and through other alternative Canadian trading platforms at the prevailing market price at the time of such transaction. The actual number of common shares that may be purchased for cancellation and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by PHX Energy, subject to a maximum daily purchase limitation of 50,030 common shares, which equate to 25 per cent of PHX Energy's average daily trading volume on TSX of 200,123 common shares for the six months ended July 31, 2026. As at Aug. 6, 2026, the corporation had 45,764,404 common shares issued and outstanding. PHX Energy may make one block purchase per calendar week, which exceeds the daily repurchase restrictions. Any common shares that are purchased by PHX Energy under the NCIB will be cancelled.
PHX Energy will enter into an automatic share purchase plan with a broker prior to commencement of the NCIB to facilitate repurchases of its common shares. Under the corporation's ASPP, the broker may repurchase shares under the NCIB during the corporation's self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by the broker based upon the limits prescribed by the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities laws and the terms of the plan and the parties' written agreement. Outside of these blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the NCIB in accordance with management's discretion.
The NCIB will commence on Aug. 18, 2026, and will terminate on Aug. 17, 2027, or such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of PHX Energy. A copy of the Form 12 (Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid) filed by the corporation with the TSX can be obtained from the corporation upon request without charge. PHX Energy was approved to purchase 4,035,757 common shares under its previous NCIB that expires on Aug. 17, 2026. The corporation did not purchase any common shares under the previous NCIB.
PHX Energy believes that, within a continued volatile market environment, at times, the prevailing market price does not reflect the underlying value of its common shares, and the repurchase of its common shares for cancellation represents an attractive opportunity to enhance PHX Energy's per-share metrics and thereby increase the underlying value to its shareholders. PHX Energy intends to use the NCIB as another tool to enhance total long-term shareholder returns under its return of capital strategy in conjunction with management's disciplined capital allocation strategy.
