WINNIPEG, June 11, 2018 /CNW/ - (TSX: NFI) NFI Group Inc., formerly New Flyer Industries Inc. ("NFI Group") today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted a notice filed by NFI Group of its intention to commence a normal course issuer bid for its common shares (the "Shares").  NFI Group believes that in the event the Shares trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their value, the acquisition of Shares may represent an attractive and desirable use of its funds.

Under the normal course issuer bid, the board of directors of NFI Group authorized the repurchase of up to 2,774,733 Shares, which represents 5% of the public float of Shares on June 4, 2018.  At the close of business on June 4, 2018, there were 63,013,905 Shares issued and outstanding.  Under the normal course issuer bid, NFI Group may purchase up to 39,900 Shares on the TSX during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 159,601 Shares on the TSX for the six months ended May 31, 2018.  Repurchases are authorized to commence on June 14, 2018 and will terminate on June 13, 2019, or earlier should NFI Group complete its repurchases prior to such date.  NFI Group is not required to purchase any or a particular number of Shares under the bid.

All purchases will be made through the facilities of the TSX and all Shares acquired under the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled.  Repurchases will be subject to compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
