VANCOUVER, B.C., Feb. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Diversified Holdings Inc. ("Premier" or the "Company") (CSE:PDH) announced today that it is making a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company is executing a normal course issuer bid at this time as its board of directors and management believe that the Company's value is not adequately reflected in its current price.
Under the Bid, Premier will purchase up to 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares, being 8,181,750 common shares. The normal course issuer bid start date will be February 20, 2018 and will not extend beyond 12 months. Any purchases will be made by Premier at the prevailing market prices of the shares at the time of purchase. All shares purchased will be cancelled. The actual number of shares purchased, timing of purchases and the price at which the shares are bought will depend upon future market conditions and potential alternative uses for Premier's cash resources.
The member the Company will be using is Scotia Wealth Management of Suite 1100, 650 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C. V7M 1W1, Phone: 604.646.1707.
Premier is commencing the Bid because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of Premier's business and its future business prospects. Premier believes that at such times the purchase of common shares would be in the best interests of the Company. Such purchases are expected to benefit all remaining shareholders by increasing their equity interest in Premier.
