Mogo Launches Normal Course Issuer Bid on TSX

Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”) today announced that, in addition to the Company’s existing common share buyback program launched on the NASDAQ in March 2022 (the “NASDAQ Bid”), the Company has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) to commence repurchasing its common shares on the TSX pursuant to a normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”, together with the NASDAQ Bid, the “Bids”).

Under the Bids, Mogo may purchase up to 2,183,000 common shares, representing approximately 10% of the public float of Mogo’s outstanding common shares at a March 21, 2023, which was 21,839,774 common shares on such date. Purchases under the Bids will be made through the facilities of the TSX, NASDAQ, other designated exchanges or any Canadian or US alternative trading system, if eligible. In accordance with the policies of the TSX, the period of the NCIB will be considered to have commenced on March 22, 2023 and will run until March 21, 2024 or such earlier date should the Company complete its permitted purchases under the Bids. As of today’s date, Mogo has already purchased 176,456 common shares at an average price of US$2.07 under the NASDAQ Bid since March 22, 2023 and it is therefore still eligible to repurchase up to 2,006,544 common shares under the Bids until March 21, 2024. The Company currently has approximately 24.9 million shares outstanding and may begin making purchases under the NCIB as of August 23, 2023.

All common shares purchased under the Bids will be cancelled. The actual number of common shares purchased under either Bid, the time of purchases and the price at which the common shares will be acquired will depend on future market conditions.

Under the rules of the TSX and subject to certain exemptions for block purchases, the maximum number of common shares that Mogo may purchase on any one (1) trading day on the TSX is 10,489 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 41,959 common shares for the six-month period ending February 28, 2023. This is in addition to the common shares that Mogo may currently purchase per day under the NASDAQ Bid, the maximum of which is approximately 25,000.

The Company’s board of directors has elected to commence the NCIB, in addition to the NASDAQ Bid, as it believes that the market price of the Company’s common shares may not, from time to time, accurately reflect their underlying value. Accordingly, purchasing the common shares for cancellation under the Bids may represent an attractive investment opportunity to enhance long-term shareholder value.
