Quarterly Dividend
The Company is also pleased to announce that its Board of
Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.01 per common share to be paid in the first
quarter of 2023. The dividend will be paid on January 13, 2023 to shareholders of record as of
the close of business on December 30,
2022.
For shareholders residing in Canada, the dividend will be paid in Canadian
dollars based on the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of
Canada on December 30, 2022. The dividend qualifies as an
"eligible dividend" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend is subject to customary
Canadian withholding tax for shareholders that are not resident in
Canada.
Normal Course Issuer Bid Renewal
The Company's NCIB is being renewed after the existing NCIB
expires on November 18, 2022. The
current NCIB provides Vox with the option to repurchase for
cancellation up to 1,968,056 common shares as appropriate
opportunities arise from time to time. Under the terms of the
renewed NCIB, the Company may repurchase for cancellation up to
2,229,697 common shares, being 5% of the total number of 44,593,950
common shares outstanding as at November 7,
2022. The repurchases are to be made at market prices
through the facilities of the TSXV or other recognized Canadian
marketplaces, or through the facilities of the Nasdaq, during the
period November 21, 2022 to
November 20, 2023.
The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price
of its common shares does not reflect the Company's underlying
value and future prospects and that, at such times, the repurchase
of the Company's common shares represents an appropriate use of its
financial resources and will enhance shareholder value. Independent
Trading Group (ITG), Inc. has been appointed by Vox as its broker
to assist with NCIB repurchases and subsequent share
cancellations.
In the last twelve months, the Company has repurchased and
cancelled 215,400 common shares pursuant to its NCIB at a weighted
average price of C$3.07 per common
share through the facilities of the TSXV and other recognized
Canadian marketplaces.
