International Petroleum Corporation Announces Approval for Share Repurchase Program - Seite 2

Any common shares that IPC repurchases under the share repurchase program will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at the prevailing market price at the time of such purchase and in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm and applicable Canadian and Swedish securities laws. The actual number of common shares that will be repurchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by IPC, subject to the limits imposed by the TSX, Nasdaq Stockholm and under applicable Canadian securities laws. There cannot be any assurances as to the number of common shares that will ultimately be acquired by IPC. Any common shares purchased by IPC under the share repurchase program will be cancelled.

IPC believes that the repurchase of common shares for cancellation represents an effective use of IPC's capital and an efficient way to return value to IPC's shareholders.
