MindWalk Announces Share Repurchase Program
MindWalk Holdings Corp. ("MindWalk" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: "HYFT"), a bio-native AI company, today announced that to underscore its confidence in MindWalk's future development and growth prospects, its Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized a share repurchase program under which MindWalk may repurchase up to 2.3 million common shares of the Company, no par value (the "Common Shares") over the twelve-month period commencing on October 15th, 2025, and ending no later than October 15th, 2026 (the "Program"). This represents approximately 5% of the 46,154,188 Common Shares currently issued and outstanding.
CEO Jennifer Bath stated, "With our balance sheet significantly strengthened and our business moving toward stronger financial health, we believe it is appropriate to add a share repurchase program to our long-term capital allocation toolkit. There have been periods where the market price of our stock has disconnected materially from what we believe to be its intrinsic value. This authorization gives us the flexibility to repurchase shares when it is the most effective use of capital and in shareholders' best interests."
The Company's share repurchases, if any, under the share repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in open-market transactions and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations.
The purchase price of any Common Shares will be determined in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws and the value of the consideration offered per Common Share will not exceed the market price of the Common Shares calculated pursuant to applicable Canadian securities regulation.
The volume, timing, and manner of any repurchases will be determined at the Company's discretion. Any purchases will be subject to general market and business conditions, the Company's management of capital, other investment opportunities, regulatory requirements and other factors.
The Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of Common Shares. The Company currently expects to fund the Program from existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, future cash flows or and/or financing activities.
The Board will review the Program periodically and may authorize adjustments to its terms and size or suspend or discontinue the program at any time and without notice.
Any repurchased Common Shares may be classified and held in the name of the Company as treasury shares or Common Shares, which may be cancelled or used for other purposes.
