20.7.2021 14:32:08 CEST | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 20, 2021 / Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Investment Company Limited (TSX:FAP) (the 'Company'), a closed-end investment company trading on The Toronto Stock Exchange ('TSX'), announced today that the TSX has accepted notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid, through which the Company will make open market purchases on the TSX or other Canadian alternative trading systems. During the bid, which will commence July 22, 2021 and end no later than July 21, 2022, the Company may purchase up to 2,537,230 ordinary shares, which is 5% of the total of the Company's 50,744,616 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as at July 12, 2021. The actual number of shares purchased, the time of the purchases and the prices at which the shares will be bought will depend upon future market conditions. The Company will not purchase in any 30 day period more than 1,014,892 ordinary shares, being 2% of the 50,744,616issued and outstanding ordinary shares as at July 12, 2021. The Company will cancel shares purchased under the bid.
Pursuant to a previous notice of intention to conduct a normal course issuer bid, under which the Company sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 2,537,230 ordinary shares for the period July 22, 2020 to July 21, 2021, the Company did not buy back any ordinary shares for cancellation.
The Company's directors believe that from time to time the purchase of ordinary shares of the Company may be a worthwhile investment for the Company that should benefit continuing shareholders. The Company's directors believe that normal course issuer bid purchases of shares for cancellation may, by reducing the number of outstanding shares, reduce the discount that may exist between the market price of the shares and the Company's net asset value per share.
