The “public float” represents outstanding Shares held by all shareholders other than restricted shares and shares held by the Company’s directors, senior officers and 10%+ shareholders.Purchases under the NCIB began on November 14, 2025, and will end no later than November 13, 2026. The Company continues to have an automatic share purchase plan (an “ASPP”) with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its Shares.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The actual number of Shares which may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by management of the Company, subject to the terms of the ASPP, applicable law and the rules of the TSX.The amendment to the NCIB is being made to increase the number of shares eligible for purchase as the Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of CMG’s Shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that share repurchases would be a desirable use of corporate funds in the best interests of the Company. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Shares by increasing their equity interest in the Company when such repurchased Shares are cancelled.Subject to any required regulatory approvals, all purchases of Shares under the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX, other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at prevailing market prices, or by such other means as may be permitted by the applicable securities regulators. All Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.About CMGCMG (TSX:CMG) is a global software and consulting company that combines science and technology with deep industry expertise to solve complex subsurface and surface challenges for the new energy industry around the world.
