 CALGARY, May 19 /CNW/ - CriticalControl Solutions Corp. (TSX: CCZ) ("CriticalControl") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted CriticalControl's Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as CriticalControl considers advisable, its issued and outstanding common shares ("Shares"). There are 41,870,687 Shares issued and outstanding on the date hereof. Of this amount, 27,884,570 Shares constitute the "public float", calculated in accordance with the rules of the TSX. Pursuant to the Bid, CriticalControl intends to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 2,788,457 Shares, being approximately 10% of CriticalControl's "public float". Pursuant to the rules of the TSX, CriticalControl will restrict purchases, except for purchases made pursuant to weekly block trade exceptions, to 8,444 Shares per trading day, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX. Purchases under the Bid will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX. The price that CriticalControl will pay for any Securities purchased by it will be the prevailing market price of the Securities on the TSX at the time of such purchase. The actual number of Securities that may be purchased under the Bid for cancellation and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by CriticalControl. The Bid will commence on May 21, 2009 and will terminate on May 20, 2010 or such earlier time as the Bid is completed or terminated at the option of CriticalControl. Management of CriticalControl believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Common Shares may not fully reflect their underlying value and that at such times the purchase of Common Shares would be in the best interests of CriticalControl. At times when the market price does not fully reflect the value of the Common Shares, such purchases would increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders. Under a previous normal course issuer bid, which commenced on May 16, 2008 and terminated on May 15, 2009, CriticalControl acquired a total of 3,127,833 Common Shares at an average price of $0.44 per Common Share.
