Key Points

  • Gibson Energy Inc. (TSX: GEI) is a Calgary-headquartered liquids infrastructure company
  • The TSX has approved a renewed NCIB allowing repurchase of up to 7,251,988 common shares over 12 months beginning September 18, 2026
  • As of September 4, 2026, Gibson had 172,561,791 common shares issued and outstanding; daily purchases are capped at 202,097 shares
  • Investors should note that Gibson did not purchase any shares under its prior NCIB, which ran from September 18, 2025 to September 17, 2026

Structure and Limits of Gibson's Renewed Share Buyback Programme

Under the renewed NCIB, Gibson may repurchase common shares through open market transactions on the TSX and other Canadian alternative trading platforms. The daily purchase limit is set at 202,097 common shares, equivalent to 25% of the average daily trading volume of 808,390 shares on the TSX calculated for the six-month period ended August 31, 2026. The programme will terminate on the earlier of September 17, 2027, or the date on which the maximum allowable shares have been acquired. The price paid for any shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase.

No Shares Purchased Under Gibson's Prior NCIB

The disclosure states that Gibson did not purchase any common shares under its previous normal course issuer bid, which commenced September 18, 2025, and expires September 17, 2026. That prior programme had authorised the repurchase of up to 10,182,288 common shares. The renewal of the NCIB without any prior purchases suggests the company has maintained the programme as a capital-allocation option rather than actively deploying it, retaining flexibility depending on market and financial conditions.

Automatic Purchase Plan with BMO Nesbitt Burns Planned

Gibson has indicated it expects to enter into an automatic purchase plan with its broker, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., to facilitate share repurchases. The release states this arrangement would allow purchases to occur at times when Gibson might otherwise be restricted from trading, including regulatory blackout periods. Purchases under the automatic plan would follow parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the written agreement between the parties. The company stated it continues to believe an NCIB programme enables it to maximise shareholder returns, in line with its stated financial principles.
