FirstService intends to launch a share repurchase program to buy back up to 3.9% of its issued and outstanding common shares over the course of a one-year period.
The property services said Tuesday that the Toronto Stock Exchange approved its plan to buy back up to 1.6 million of its shares for cancellation by way of a normal course issuer bid.
Shares have risen modestly over the course of the year, up about 5% since January to close on Monday at 273.52 Canadian dollars ($198.15). The stock is up 15% over the past 52 weeks.
At Monday's closing price, the value of the shares intended for buyback would be worth about C$437.6 million.
FirstService can begin buying back shares starting on Aug. 25.
