Stock Buyback Program
On June 5, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Borealis Foods Inc. (the “Company”) authorized and approved a stock buyback program (the “Stock Buyback Program”) pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $3.0 million of the Company’s Common Shares. The Stock Buyback Program has an expiration date of May 30, 2025 and may be suspended, terminated, or modified by the Board at any time without prior notice at the Board’s discretion. Under the Stock Buyback Program, the Company intends to repurchase through privately negotiated transactions, block trades, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.
The Stock Buyback Program is expected to be funded using the Company’s cash on hand and from its operations. Repurchases under the Stock Buyback Program may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate. The Stock Buyback Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any dollar amount or number of Common Shares. Repurchases by the Company under the Stock Buyback Program will depend on a variety of factors, including the availability of stock, general market and economic conditions, trading volume, stock price, available liquidity, alternative uses for capital and other general business considerations, all subject to applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements.
A copy of the press release announcing the Stock Buyback Program is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
