Partners Value Investments L.P. Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bids

TORONTO, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Partners Value Investments L.P. (the “Partnership”) (TSX VENTURE: PVF) announced today that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) to renew its normal course issuer bids to purchase up to 3,521,732 of its non‐voting equity limited partnership units (the “Equity LP Units”), representing approximately 5% of its currently outstanding Equity LP Units; and to purchase up to 938,226 of its non‐voting Class A preferred limited partnership units, Series 1 (the “Preferred LP Units”), representing approximately 5% of its currently outstanding Preferred LP Units (collectively, the “Bids”). The period of the Bids will be effective from January 3, 2025 to January 2, 2026, or such earlier date that the Partnership completes its purchases.

Purchases by the Partnership pursuant to the Bids will be made by its broker, RBC Capital Markets, through the facilities of the Exchange, other designated exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada. The price which the Partnership will pay for any Equity LP Units and Preferred LP Units purchased will be the market price of the Equity LP Units and Preferred LP Units at the time of acquisition. Any Equity LP Units and/or Preferred LP Units acquired through the Bids will be cancelled. As of December 13, 2024, there were 70,434,631 Equity LP Units outstanding and 18,764,512 Preferred LP Units outstanding.

Of the 3,533,556 Equity LP units and 938,350 Preferred LP Units approved for purchase under the Partnership’s prior normal course issuer bids that commenced on January 3, 2024 and will be expiring on January 2, 2025, the Partnership purchased 278,324 Equity LP Units at an average price of $102.02 and did not make any purchase of Preferred LP Units through the facilities of the Exchange, other designated exchanges or an alternative trading system in Canada.

The Partnership believes that, from time to time, the market price of its securities may not adequately reflect their value. In such circumstances, the Partnership believes the purchase of its outstanding securities may represent an appropriate and desirable use of its available funds. All Equity LP Units and Preferred LP Units acquired by the Partnership under the Bids will be cancelled.

In connection with the Bids, the Partnership entered into an automatic purchase plan with its designated broker, RBC Capital Markets. The automatic purchase plan will allow for the purchase of Equity LP Units and Preferred LP Units when the Partnership would not ordinarily be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, Equity LP Units and Preferred LP Units will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law.
