Rocky Mountain Dealerships Inc. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid


Rocky Mountain Dealerships Inc. (TSX:RME, and hereinafter "RME"), announced today that it has received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") of its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") to purchase certain issued and outstanding common shares of RME ("Shares"). Pursuant to the NCIB, RME may purchase for the purpose of cancellation up to 1,560,907 Shares, representing 10% of the "public float" (calculated as at November 14, 2018) over a twelve-month period commencing November 21, 2018. The NCIB will expire no later than November 20, 2019.

RME's Board of Directors believes the underlying value of RME may not be reflected in the current market price for RME's Shares, and has therefore determined that the NCIB is an appropriate use of RME's financial resources, and is in the best interests of RME's shareholders at this time.

The decisions regarding the timing and size of any Share transactions under the NCIB will be subject to the discretion of RME's Management, and will be based on a variety of factors, including market conditions, available capital, and covenant compliance. RME has appointed Raymond James Ltd. as its broker, who will conduct the purchases on RME's behalf. Pursuant to the NCIB, Shares may be repurchased in open market transactions on the TSX and/or alternative trading platforms as permitted under the rules of the TSX and applicable securities laws. For the six months ended October 31, 2018, RME's average daily trading volume ("ADTV") on the TSX was 33,832 Shares. Daily purchases made pursuant to the NCIB other than purchases made pursuant to the "block purchase" exemption) are limited to a maximum of 25% of RME's ADTV, which is of 8,458 Shares per day. All Shares that are purchased under this NCIB will be cancelled.
