Goldmoney Inc. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO – (December 14, 2016) – Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (“Goldmoney”), the world’s 100% reserved gold-based financial network, today announced acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) of Goldmoney’s Notice of Intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation a maximum amount of 3,000,000 common shares of Goldmoney, representing 6.62% of the 45,286,024 common shares forming Goldmoney’s public float as at December 12, 2016.  

As of December 12, 2016, Goldmoney had 69,264,340 common shares issued and outstanding.

The NCIB will commence on December 15, 2016 and will terminate on December 14, 2017 or at such earlier date in the event that the number of shares sought in the NCIB have been repurchased. Goldmoney reserves the right to terminate the NCIB earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so.

All shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and on alternative Canadian trading platforms at prevailing market rates, and any common shares purchased by Goldmoney will be cancelled. The actual number of shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Goldmoney. Any purchases made by Goldmoney pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX. 

During the most recently completed six months, the average daily trading volume for the common shares of Goldmoney on the TSX was 98,779 common shares. Consequently, under the policies of the TSX, Goldmoney will have the right to repurchase under its NCIB, during any one trading day, a maximum of 24,694 shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume. In addition, Goldmoney will be allowed to make, once per calendar week, a block purchase (as such term if defined in the TSX Company Manual) of shares not directly or indirectly owned by the insiders of Goldmoney, in accordance with TSX policies. Goldmoney will fund the purchases through available cash. In the previous 12 months, Goldmoney has not repurchased any of its outstanding common shares. 

The Board of Directors believes the underlying value of Goldmoney may not be reflected in the market price of its common shares from time to time and that, at appropriate times, repurchasing its shares through the NCIB may represent a good use of Goldmoney’s financial resources, as such action can protect and enhance shareholder value when opportunities or volatility arise. Therefore, the Board of Directors has determined that the NCIB is in the best interest of Goldmoney and its shareholders.
