Frequently Asked Questions

A Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) is a program where a company buys back its own shares from the open market. This is typically done when management believes the company's stock is trading below its intrinsic value or to return capital to shareholders.

Companies usually launch an NCIB to return value to shareholders, signal confidence in the company's future prospects, or because they believe their stock is undervalued. It can also be used to offset dilution from stock-based compensation plans.

An NCIB can be beneficial for existing shareholders. By reducing the number of outstanding shares, it can increase Earnings Per Share (EPS) and potentially support or increase the stock price. However, the actual impact depends on the size and duration of the bid, as well as the company's ongoing performance.

Further details regarding the specifics of the NCIB, such as the number of shares to be repurchased, the timeframe, and the maximum price, would typically be found in subsequent press releases or regulatory filings made by Celestica Inc.
