ABXX Abaxx Technologies Inc

Abaxx Technologies Inc. (NEO: ABXX) (OTCQX: ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”) a financial software company, announces acceptance by the NEO Exchange Inc. (the “NEO”) of Abaxx’s Notice of Intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to 3,657,475 common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company, representing 5% of the Company’s 73,149,506 issued and outstanding common shares as at June 15, 2022.

The NCIB will commence on June 17, 2022 and will terminate on June 16, 2023 or at such earlier date if the number of Shares sought in the NCIB has been repurchased. Abaxx reserves the right to terminate the NCIB earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so.

All Shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the NEO as well as on alternative Canadian trading systems at prevailing market rates and any Shares purchased by Abaxx will be cancelled. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Abaxx. Any purchases made by Abaxx pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules and policies of the NEO.

During the most recently completed six month period, the average daily trading volume for the common shares of Abaxx on the NEO and alternative trading systems was 120,563 common shares. Consequently, under the policies of the NEO, Abaxx will have the right to repurchase under its NCIB, during any one trading day, a maximum of 30,140 Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume. In addition, Abaxx will be allowed to make, once per calendar week, a “block purchase” (as such term is described in the NEO Listing Manual) of Shares not directly or indirectly owned by the insiders of Abaxx, in accordance with NEO policies. Abaxx will fund the purchases through available cash.

Abaxx is commencing the NCIB because it believes that the current market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of its business, affairs and future business prospects. The Company believes that the purchase of Shares for cancellation is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders by increasing the respective proportionate shareholdings and therefore increasing the respective equity interest in the Company for all remaining shareholders. The Company has not purchased any Shares during the previous twelve months pursuant to any issuer bid.
