Polaris Renewable Energy Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2023 / Polaris Renewable Energy Inc. (TSX:PIF) ("Polaris" or the "Company") today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted its notice of intention to proceed with a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB").

Under the NCIB, Polaris may purchase up to 2,048,273 of its common shares ("Shares"), representing approximately 10% of the Company's public float (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) during the twelve month period commencing August 23, 2023 and ending August 22, 2024. As at August 18, 2023, the Company had 21,025,775 Shares issued and outstanding and its public float consisted of 20,482,730 Shares.

The average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the commencement of the NCIB was 29,942. As a result, in accordance with TSX rules, the Company may purchase up to 7,485 Shares on the TSX under the NCIB during any trading day, subject to the Company's ability to purchase additional Shares pursuant to the TSX's block purchase exemption. Any Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

The Company's Board of Directors believes that having the NCIB in place provides the Company with flexibility to manage its capital position. The NCIB will enable the Company to use, when determined appropriate, its available free cash to increase shareholder value and is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. As at June 30, 2023, the Company had USD$37.3 million of un-restricted consolidated cash on hand.

Although the Company intends to purchase Shares under the NCIB, there can be no assurances that any purchases will be completed. The timing and amount of purchases, if any, under the NCIB are subject to the discretion of management based on various factors, including prevailing market conditions. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be made by Polaris at the prevailing market price, plus applicable brokerage fees through the facilities of the TSX, and alternative Canadian trading systems.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "predicts", "intends", "targets", "aims", "anticipates" or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. A number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results or performance to materially differ from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include, among others, the inability of the Company to pay for any Shares it wishes to purchase, the price of the Shares purchased or the affect that any such purchases have on the Company's capital position, all of which may be affected by such factors as general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current geothermal, solar and hydro energy production, development and/or exploration activities and the accuracy of probability simulations prepared to predict prospective geothermal resources; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; possible variations of production rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the geothermal and hydro power industries; political instability or insurrection or war; labor force availability and turnover; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, or in the commencement of operations; the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and general economic conditions, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form. These factors should be considered carefully, and readers of this press release should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.

Although the forward-looking information contained in this press release is based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information.
