📅 2 weeks ago 🏷️ Aecon Group Inc.

Aecon Group Inc. has announced the renewal of its normal course issuer bid, allowing for the repurchase of up to 3,426,476 common shares, subject to regulatory approval and market conditions.

On August 12, 2026, Aecon Group Inc. (TSX: ARE) disclosed that it has received regulatory approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for its notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB). This renewal permits Aecon to buy back for cancellation up to 3,426,476 common shares, which represents 5% of its total issued and outstanding shares, during the period that starts on August 19, 2026, and concludes on the earlier of August 18, 2027, or when the maximum number of shares allowed is reached.
As of August 7, 2026, Aecon had a total of 68,529,529 common shares issued and outstanding. The renewal follows the completion of Aecon's previous NCIB, which is set to expire on August 18, 2026. Under the previous bid, Aecon had received TSX approval to buy back up to 3,180,767 common shares, of which 228,550 shares were acquired through open market transactions on the TSX and Canadian alternative trading systems, at an average price of $22.1405 per share.
Purchases under the renewed NCIB will comply with TSX regulations and will be executed through the TSX or alternative trading systems in Canada. The price for any repurchased shares will be based on the market price at the time of acquisition. Daily purchases are capped at 127,998 shares, which is 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six months ending July 31, 2026, although there may be exceptions for block purchases.
Aecon has stated that it views the repurchase of its shares at certain market prices as a prudent use of its financial resources, aligning with the interests of its shareholders. The company plans to execute these purchases opportunistically, taking into account share price movements and other relevant factors.
Funding for the NCIB will come from Aecon’s existing cash reserves or its senior credit facility. The management team will determine the actual number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of these transactions, adhering to applicable securities laws and TSX guidelines. Aecon reserves the right to halt or cease share repurchases at any time, observing the necessary legal requirements.
In addition, Aecon announced it has established an automatic securities purchase plan (the Plan) with a designated broker. This Plan allows Aecon to instruct the broker to make purchases under the NCIB according to specific parameters set forth by the company, in compliance with TSX rules and securities laws. This arrangement will enable share purchases during times when Aecon is typically restricted from buying shares due to regulatory black-out periods or restrictions stemming from its Insider Trading Policy. The Plan has been pre-approved by the TSX and will take effect on August 19, 2026.
