TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dream Unlimited Corp. DRM DRM ("Dream") announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted a notice filed by Dream to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a one year period. Under the bid, Dream will have the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 7,165,062 of its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (representing 10% of Dream's public float of 71,650,625 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. The bid will commence on September 20, 2017 and remain in effect until the earlier of September 19, 2018 or the date on which Dream has purchased the maximum number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares permitted under the bid. Daily purchases will be limited to 42,256 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, which equals 25% of the average daily trading volume during the last six calendar months (being 169,026 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exceptions. As of September 8, 2017, the number of issued and outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares is 106,092,071.

Dream has renewed its normal course issuer bid because it believes that Class A Subordinate Voting Shares may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such Class A Subordinate Voting Shares for cancellation in the best interests of Dream and its shareholders.

Dream's current normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to 3,245,397 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares expires on September 19, 2017.  Under this bid, Dream purchased for cancellation 3,245,397 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of $6.84 for a total cost of $22.2 million.
