February 20 2024 - 5:58PM
Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (“Gran Tierra”) (NYSE American:
GTE)(TSX: GTE)(LSE: GTE), today announces that it has
obtained an exemption order from the Canadian securities regulators
which permits Gran Tierra to purchase up to 10% of its “public
float” (within the meaning of the rules of the Toronto Stock
Exchange (the “
TSX”)) of shares of common stock
(the “
Shares”) through the NYSE American (the
“
NYSE”) and other trading systems based in the
United States (together with the NYSE, the “
U.S.
Markets”) as part of Gran Tierra’s normal course issuer
bids announced on October 31, 2023. Absent this exemptive relief,
Gran Tierra’s purchases under a normal course issuer bid on markets
other than the TSX would be limited to not more than 5% of its
outstanding Shares over any 12-month period. A substantial majority
of the trading volume of Gran Tierra’s Shares occurs through the
U.S. Markets.
The exemptive relief is applicable to purchases
of Shares completed within 36 months of the February 12, 2024 date
of the exemption order, and includes purchases made under Gran
Tierra’s current normal course issuer bid and any other normal
course issuer bid in effect within such period and is conditional
upon, among other things, purchases being made in compliance with
applicable U.S. rules, the TSX rules applicable to a normal course
issuer bid, National Instrument 23-101 - Trading Rules, and at a
price not higher than the market price at the time of purchase. The
aggregate number of Shares purchased by Gran Tierra over any
exchange or market over the relevant 12-month period of a
particular normal course issuer bid may not exceed 10% of the
public float as specified in Gran Tierra’s notice accepted by the
TSX in respect of the relevant normal course issuer bid, including
the current bid announced on October 31, 2023.
