Automodular Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

PICKERING, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 13, 2016) - Automodular Corporation (NEX:AM.H) ("Automodular" or the "Corporation") announces that the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), has accepted the Corporation's notice of intention to undertake a normal course issuer bid. Under the terms of the normal course issuer bid, Automodular may acquire up to 821,491 of its common shares, representing 10% of the 8,214,913 common shares comprising Automodular's public float of common shares issued and outstanding as of April 4, 2016, as defined by the policies of the TSXV. In the opinion of the Board of Directors of Automodular, its common shares have recently traded in a price range that does not reflect the underlying value of the Corporation. Accordingly, depending upon future price movements and other factors, Automodular believes that repurchasing its outstanding common shares is a desirable use of a portion of its corporate funds. Automodular's strong cash position allows for the implementation of the bid without adversely affecting other growth opportunities.

The normal course issuer bid will begin on April 13, 2016 and will terminate on April 12, 2017, or on such earlier date as Automodular may complete its purchases pursuant to the notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid filed with the TSXV. All shares purchased by the Corporation will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV in accordance with the rules, regulations and policies of the TSXV and will be cancelled. The prices that Automodular will pay for any of the common shares purchased will be the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition, determined in accordance with the rules of the TSXV.

Under its normal course issuer bid which expired on April 12, 2016, the Corporation purchased 569,800 of its common shares at an average price of $2.53 per share. The Corporation also purchased 5,660,377 common shares at a price of $2.65 per share through a substantial issuer bid which expired on September 17, 2015.
