GLENTEL Inc. renews normal course issuer bid to repurchase common shares


(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BURNABY, BC, Jan. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - GLENTEL Inc. ("GLENTEL") (TSX:GLN) has filed, and has received Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") acceptance of, a notice to renew its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") to purchase up to 500,000 of its outstanding Common Shares. Depending upon future price movements and other factors from time to time, the board of directors of GLENTEL believes that the purchase of its outstanding Common Shares may represent desirable use of a portion of its available funds and may provide additional liquidity to its shareholders, benefiting the remaining shareholders by an increase in the value of their equity interest in the company.



On January 31, 2013, GLENTEL will have completed a previous NCIB, through which no purchases were made. In the period beginning February 1, 2013 and ending on January 31, 2014, GLENTEL intends to further acquire up to 500,000 Common Shares, being 2.24% of the 22,273,605 Common Shares outstanding on January 29, 2013. Subject to any block purchases made in accordance with the rules of the TSX, GLENTEL will be subject to a daily repurchase maximum of 3,625 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 14,502 Common Shares.

Any shares purchased pursuant to the NCIB will be cancelled. Shares will be purchased at the market price of the shares at the time of purchase and will be purchased on behalf of GLENTEL by a registered investment dealer through the facilities of the TSX or other Canadian market places. The funding for any purchase of Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB will be financed out of working capital of GLENTEL.
