Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid
We are pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock
Exchange ("TSX") has approved the notice of Vermilion's intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB")
through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), New York Stock Exchange and other alternative trading platforms
in Canada and USA.
The NCIB allows Vermilion to purchase up to 15,689,839
common shares, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at June 28, 2024, over a twelve month period commencing on July 12,
2024. The NCIB will expire no later than July 11, 2025. The total number of common shares Vermilion is permitted to purchase on the TSX
is subject to a daily purchase limit of 180,974 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 723,899 common
shares on the TSX calculated for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024; however, Vermilion may make one block purchase per calendar
week which exceeds the daily repurchase restrictions. Any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their
purchase by Vermilion.
In connection with the NCIB, Vermilion will enter
an automatic purchase plan ("ASPP") with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during self-imposed
blackout periods. Such purchases would be at the discretion of the broker based on parameters provided by the Company prior to any self-imposed
blackout period or any period when it is in possession of material undisclosed information. The ASPP has been pre-cleared, as required
by the TSX. Outside of these blackout periods, common shares may be purchased under the NCIB in accordance with Management's discretion.
Vermilion has a long history of returning capital
to its shareholders as we have paid out over $40 per share in dividends since 2003. The Company anticipates returning 50% of excess free
cash flow(1) to shareholders in 2024, primarily through the base dividend and share repurchases. Share repurchases continue
to screen as one of the most compelling options for returning capital to shareholders as we believe our common shares are trading at a
price that does not reflect the appropriate value of the company.
| (1) |
Most directly comparable to cash flows from operating activities, FCF is comprised of fund flows from operations less drilling and development costs and exploration and evaluation cost and EFCF is comprised of FCF less payments on lease obligations and asset retirement obligations settled. The measure is used to determine the funding available for investing and financing activities including payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt, reallocation into existing business units and deployment into new ventures. EFCF is used to determine the funding available to return to shareholders after costs attributable to normal business operations. |
Under its prior NCIB, which runs from July 12, 2023
to July 11, 2024, the Company was allowed to purchase up to 16,308,587 common shares. As at June 28, 2024, Vermilion repurchased an aggregate
of 7,451,594 common shares under its prior NCIB at a weighted average price of $16.27 per common share, excluding brokerage fees.
The company purchased all common shares through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE and alternative trading platforms in Canada and the
United States.
