"Mitel is committed to delivering shareholder value," said Richard McBee, Chief Executive Officer. "This share buyback program provides us with another lever to realize and maximize that value."
Mitel may purchase its Common Shares, from time to time, if it believes that the market price of its Common Shares is attractive and that the purchase would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Corporation.
Mitel believes that having the ability to acquire Common Shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid will present an attractive opportunity to utilize Mitel's available funds.
The Bid will commence on March 9, 2017.
