Canada Goose Announces Renewal of Regulatory Relief Regarding Share Repurchase Program
TORONTO, ON (January 27, 2025) – Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (NYSE, TSX:GOOS) (“Canada Goose” or the “Company”) today announced that it obtained exemptive relief from the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) which permits the Company to purchase up to 10% of the “public float” (within the meaning of the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”)) of its subordinate voting shares (the “Shares”) through the New York Stock Exchange and other U.S.-based trading systems (collectively, the “U.S. Markets”) as part of the Company’s normal course issuer bid announced on November 19, 2024 (the “Current Bid”). Absent the exemptive relief, purchases under the Current Bid on the U.S. Markets would be limited to a maximum of 5% of its outstanding Shares at the beginning of any 12-month period.
The Current Bid provides for the purchase for cancellation of up to 4,556,841 Shares over the twelve-month period commencing on November 22, 2024 and ending no later than November 21, 2025. This represents approximately 10% of the 45,568,419 Shares comprising the public float of the Company determined in accordance with TSX requirements as at November 8, 2024. As at November 8, 2024, there were 45,800,210 subordinate voting shares issued and outstanding. Purchases made in reliance on the exemptive relief as part of normal course issuer bids, including the Current Bid, will be made at market price in accordance with applicable securities laws and the terms of the exemptive relief.
The exemptive relief is valid for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance and applies to the Current Bid and any subsequent normal course issuer bid in effect until such time, subject to the terms of the exemptive relief. It is conditional upon, among other things, purchases being made in compliance with applicable U.S. rules governing share repurchases and Part 6 (Order Protection) of National Instrument 23-101 Trading Rules and at a price not higher than market price at the time of purchase. The aggregate number of Shares purchased on any exchange or market may not exceed 10% of the public float, as specified in Canada Goose’s notice accepted by the TSX in respect of the relevant normal course issuer bid, including the Current Bid. A similar exemptive relief had previously been granted to the Company by the OSC on January 25, 2022, for a period of 36 months from its issuance.
A copy of the decision from the OSC has been filed under Canada Goose’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
