Wishpond Technologies announced its intention to initiate a normal course issuer bid starting July 15, 2024. This bid allows the company to purchase up to 2,707,931 shares, representing 5% of the outstanding shares, through the TSX Venture Exchange. The board believes current share prices do not reflect the company's true value, and repurchasing shares will benefit remaining shareholders by increasing their equity interest. The bid runs until July 14, 2025, and will be funded through company working capital. No shares were purchased in the previous bid period.
