Imperial Metals Commences Normal Course Issuer Bid

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Imperial Metals Corporation, commonly known as Imperial, has recently announced an exciting new step for the company. The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has accepted the Company’s Notice of Intention to execute a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the Bid), indicating a strong commitment to enhance shareholder returns.

Details of the Normal Course Issuer Bid

Through this Bid, Imperial plans to repurchase up to 814,089 common shares, which accounts for approximately 0.5% of their total outstanding shares, which numbers 162,817,841 as of the most recent count. The repurchases will commence on May 28 and will continue until the end of May the following year. Notably, the Company is strategically set to purchase shares at current market prices.
