Nexxen International Ltd.
("Nexxen" or the "Company")
Launch of New $50 Million Ordinary Share Repurchase Program
The Ordinary Share repurchase program will be financed through existing cash resources and will begin on 7 May 2024
Nexxen International Ltd. (AIM/NASDAQ: NEXN) ("Nexxen" or the "Company"), a global, unified advertising technology platform with deep
expertise in video and Connected TV ("CTV"), announces that, further to the announcement on 15 March 2024 and following the expiration of the creditor objection period which resulted in no objections and the amendment to the Credit Agreement, as
previously announced on 10 April 2024, the Company (directly and through its subsidiaries) will begin a new repurchase program today for a further $50 million of its Ordinary Shares from time to time.
The Company’s Board of Directors also indicates that, should the Company’s Ordinary Shares continue to trade at prices the Company
believes reflect discounted valuation levels, and if the Company remains cash generative in the future, it will consider launching additional future share repurchase programs following the completion of the newly launched $50 million Ordinary Share
repurchase program. The Company’s Board of Directors believes repurchasing the Company’s shares at what it believes reflects discounted valuation levels represents a strong investment opportunity that can generate long-term value for its
shareholders.
About the Ordinary Share Repurchase Program
|
• |
The Ordinary Shares will be repurchased on the AIM Market and the repurchase program will be financed through existing cash reserves.
|
|
• |
The repurchase program will begin on 7 May 2024 and will continue until the earlier of 1 November 2024, or until it has been completed.
|
|
• |
The repurchase program will be independently managed by Cavendish Capital Markets Limited, the Company's AIM broker, which will make trading decisions independently and
without the influence of the Company, pursuant to the engagement entered into and announced on 15 March 2024.
|
|
• |
The maximum price paid per Ordinary Share is to be no more than 105% of the average middle market closing price of an Ordinary Share on AIM for the five business days
preceding the date of purchase.
|
|
• |
Share repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, and any Ordinary Shares acquired as a result of the repurchase program
will be announced to the market without delay.
|
|
• |
Any Ordinary Shares acquired by the Company as a result of the repurchase program will be reclassified as dormant shares under the Israeli Companies Law (without any
rights attached thereon) and will be held in treasury.
|
|
• |
Any Ordinary Shares acquired by a subsidiary of the Company as a result of the repurchase program will not be reclassified as dormant shares under the Israeli Companies
Law, but such Company subsidiary will not have any voting rights with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares.
|
|
• |
The share repurchase program does not obligate Nexxen to repurchase any particular amount of Ordinary Shares and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued
at any time at the Company's discretion (if not in a close period), subject to applicable law.
|
|
• |
Due to the limited liquidity in the issued Ordinary Shares, any repurchase of Ordinary Shares on any trading day may represent a significant proportion of the daily
trading volume in the Ordinary Shares on AIM and may exceed 25% of the average daily trading volume, being the limit laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and, accordingly, the Company will not benefit from the exemption
contained in this Article.
