Unisync Corp. (TSX: UNI) has announced TSX approval for its first-ever normal course issuer bid, allowing the Toronto-based corporate apparel and protective garment company to repurchase up to 1,000,000 common shares over a twelve-month period beginning October 2, 2026. The company stated it believes its shares are trading below their underlying value given its assets, business prospects, and financial position. Alongside the bid, Unisync has established an Automatic Securities Purchase Plan to enable repurchases during regulatory blackout periods, with both programs running through October 1, 2027.

Unisync's Rationale for Launching Its Inaugural Share Buyback Program

Unisync stated that it believes its shares are currently trading, or may trade due to market volatility, at a price that does not adequately reflect their underlying value based on the company's assets, business prospects, and financial position. This marks the first time Unisync has established a normal course issuer bid, the release confirms. The company noted that purchasing shares under the bid will increase the proportionate interest of remaining shareholders, which the company characterised as advantageous. All shares repurchased will be returned to treasury and cancelled, reducing the total share count outstanding.

Daily Purchase Limits and Broker Arrangements for UNI Share Repurchases

Purchases under the bid will be conducted through open market transactions on the TSX or other designated Canadian trading systems, with Haywood Securities Inc. acting as broker on behalf of Unisync. Daily repurchases are capped at 1,376 shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 5,506 shares over the most recently completed six calendar months. The public float stands at an estimated 14,176,435 shares. The company has reserved the right to suspend the bid should market conditions warrant it, and the disclosure states no insider currently intends to sell shares under the program.

Automatic Securities Purchase Plan Provides Flexibility During Blackout Periods

In conjunction with the bid, Unisync has entered into an Automatic Securities Purchase Plan with a designated broker, pre-cleared by the TSX, to allow share purchases during periods when the company would otherwise be restricted from transacting — including regulatory blackout periods. Under the plan, the designated broker exercises sole discretion over purchases within parameters set by Unisync. The plan takes effect October 2, 2026, and expires October 1, 2027, unless terminated earlier. All purchases made through the plan count toward the overall bid limit of 1,000,000 shares.
