Imperial Oil Limited has received final acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange for a new normal course issuer bid that allows it to repurchase up to 24,179,635 common shares, representing five percent of its outstanding stock. As of June 15, 2026, the company had 483,592,715 issued and outstanding common shares.
The one-year program will run from June 29, 2026 to June 28, 2027, or until the maximum is purchased. Imperial has set up an automatic share purchase plan so its broker can buy shares from public holders and from ExxonMobil during regulatory blackouts, under pre-set parameters cleared by the TSX.
ExxonMobil, which holds approximately 69.6 percent of Imperial, may sell shares to maintain its ownership level, and any such sales reduce the amount available for purchases from other shareholders. Shares bought under the program will be cancelled. The company notes that the bid supports its focus on returning surplus cash to shareholders and offsetting dilution from restricted stock units. The announcement follows completion of the prior program in December 2025, when Imperial repurchased the full 25,452,248 authorized shares at a total cost of about $3,180 million, or an average of $124.93 per share.
