EDMONTON, AB, Aug. 18,
2023 /CNW/ - McCoy Global Inc. ("McCoy,"
"McCoy Global" or "the Corporation") (TSX:MCB) today announced
that that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the "TSX") to extend a proposed normal course issuer bid (the
"Bid") to purchase up to 1,605,053 common shares, representing
approximately 10% of the public float common shares of McCoy.
McCoy's management and Board of Directors believe that the
current market price of its common shares does not represent the
underlying value of the Corporation and has determined that the
repurchase of its common shares is a desirable use of funds and in
the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.
Purchases under the Bid will be made through the facilities of
the TSX or any Canadian alternative trading system. The period of
the Bid will extend from August 22,
2023 to August 21, 2024, or an
earlier date should McCoy complete its purchases. All common shares
purchased under the Bid will be cancelled. The actual number of
common shares purchased, the time of purchases, and the price at
which the common shares will be acquired will depend on future
market conditions.
As of August 15, 2023, 28,578,589
common shares of McCoy were issued and outstanding. Under the rules
of the TSX and subject to certain exemptions for block purchases,
the maximum number of common shares that the Corporation may
purchase on any single trading day is 4,192 common shares,
representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 16,771
common shares for the previous six calendar months.

"objective", "ongoing", "believe", "will", "may", "projected",
"plan", "sustain", "continues", "strategy", "potential",

conditions; and the perceived benefits of the growth strategy and
operating strategy of the Corporation are based upon the financial
and operating attributes of the Corporation as at the date hereof,

looking statements regarding the Corporation are based on certain
key expectations and assumptions of the Corporation concerning
anticipated financial performance, business prospects, strategies,
the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out
planned activities, the availability and cost of labour and
services and the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms,
which are subject to change based on market conditions and
potential timing delays. Although management of the Corporation
consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information
currently available to them, they may prove to be incorrect. By
their very nature, forward looking statements involve inherent
risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) and risks that
forward looking statements will not be achieved. Undue reliance
should not be placed on forward looking statements, as a number of
important factors could cause the actual results to differ
materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations,
anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in the forward
looking statements, including inability to meet current and future
obligations; inability to complete or effectively integrate
strategic acquisitions; inability to implement the Corporation's
business strategy effectively; access to capital markets;
fluctuations in oil and gas prices; fluctuations in capital
expenditures of the Corporation's target market; competition for,
among other things, labour, capital, materials and customers;
interest and currency exchange rates; technological developments;
global political and economic conditions; global natural disasters
or disease; and inability to attract and retain key personnel.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive.
The reader is further cautioned that the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make
certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These judgments and
estimates may change, having either a negative or positive effect
on net earnings as further information becomes available, and as
the economic environment changes. The information contained in this
News Release identifies additional factors that could affect the
operating results and performance of the Corporation. We urge you
to carefully consider those factors. The forward looking statements
contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. The forward looking statements included in

the Corporation does not undertake and is not obligated to publicly
update such forward looking statements to reflect new information,
subsequent events or otherwise unless so required by applicable
