YANGAROO Announces TSX-V-Approved Normal Course Issuer Bid


TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YANGAROO Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF), the industry's leading secure digital media management and distribution company, is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) has accepted the Company’s application for a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") for up to 3,066,957 of its common shares (the "Shares"), representing 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

The Company has received approval from the TSX-V to commence the Bid on January 2, 2019 and to continue until December 31, 2019, or earlier in the event that the Company has acquired the maximum Shares that may be purchased under the Bid.  The Company may also terminate the Bid earlier if it feels it’s appropriate to do so. 

The Bid will be made through the facilities of the TSX-V and the purchase and payment for the Shares will be made in accordance with TSX-V requirements at the market price of the Shares at the time of acquisition.  All Shares purchased by the Company under the Bid will be cancelled.

The Company has engaged Echelon Wealth Partners as its broker to conduct the Bid transactions. 

Management of the Company believes that the Shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect their value and that the purchase of the Shares under the Bid is in the best interests of the Company, a desirable use of its available cash, and will enhance shareholder value in general.

To the knowledge of the Company, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Company currently intends to sell any Shares under the Bid.
