NEWS RELEASE – LSE: EDV, TSX:EDV
ENDEAVOUR ANNOUNCES RENEWAL
OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
London, 20 March 2023 – Endeavour Mining plc (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) (“Endeavour” or the
“Company”) has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to renew its Normal Course Issuer
Bid (“NCIB”) for its share repurchase programme, in order to continue to supplement its minimum progressive
dividend.
Under the NCIB, Endeavour is entitled to repurchase up to 5% of its total issued and outstanding shares as of 14
March 2023, or 12,387,688 shares, during the 12 month period of the NCIB, and up to 25% of the average daily
trading volume (“ADTV”) for the six months ended 28 February 2023, calculated in accordance with the rules of
the TSX for purposes of the NCIB or 13 4,817 shares during each trading day, excluding purchases made in
accordance with the block purchase exemptions under applicable TSX policies. All ordinary shares repurchased
under the share repurchase programme will be cancelled. The renewed NCIB will commence on 22 March 2023
and end on 21 March 2024, or such earlier date as Endeavour may complete its purchases pursuant to the notice
of intention filed with the TSX.
Under Endeavour’s prior NCIB, which commenced on 22 March 2022 and ends on 21 March 2023, Endeavour
obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 12,458,989 ordinary shares, of which 3,864,238 ordinary shares
were purchased at a weighted average price of approximately CDN$ 27.56.
Endeavour believes that purchases under the NCIB constitute a desirable use of its funds on the basis that, from
time to time, market prices of the s hares may not fully reflect the value of Endeavour’s business and future
business prospects.
Endeavour’s previously announced automatic share purchase agreement with Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited
(“Stifel”) will continue to allow for the purchase of ordinary shares, subject to certain trading parameters, at
times when Endeavour would n ot be active in the market due to regulatory close periods, its own internal
trading black-out periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of these periods, ordinary shares may be
repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law.
Share purchases will be made by Stifel (or through its agent, Stifel Nicolaus Canada, Inc.) on the TSX and the
London Stock Exchange, as well as through other designated exchanges and alternative Canadian trading
systems in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The price paid for repurchased ordinary shares
will be the market price of such ordinary shares at the time of acquisition or such other price as may be
permitted in accordance with applicable regulatory requ irements and Endeavour’s existing shareholder
authority to conduct share repurchases. Endeavour intends to ask shareholders to renew that authority at its
2023 AGM.
