Amsterdam, Netherlands, February 25, 2016 - Nord Gold N.V. (“Nordgold” or the “Company”, LSE: NORD), the internationally diversified low-cost gold producer, announces that on February 15 - 24, 2016, in accordance with the 2016 buyback programme, it purchased a total of 87,586 GDRs for the total amount of US$241,444.
The daily transactions are detailed below.
Since the beginning of the 2016 buyback programme on January 4, 2016 Nordgold has purchased a total of 319,849 GRDs for the total amount of US$852,117.
On November 17, 2015, the Board approved the 2016 GDR buyback programme for up to 5,000,000 GDRs to a maximum total amount of US$15 million at a price of up to US$5.0 per GDR. The buyback programme will end as soon as the aggregate purchase price of GDRs acquired by the Company has reached the amount of US$15 million or ultimately, by November 17, 2016.
The Company has an entire issued share capital of 370,821,439 shares.
Following the withdrawal from the GDR programme of the shares underlying the GDRs, the Company intends to cancel the shares.
Due to the generally low trading volume in the Company’s GDRs, purchases of the GDRs under the programme on any trading day are likely to represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in the GDRs on the LSE.
