MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Attention business/financial editors and reporters:
Aeroquest International Limited ("Aeroquest") (TSX VENTURE: AQL)
confirmed today that its common shares will commence trading on the
Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") on July 24, 2008 under the symbol
"AQL". There will be no further trading of Aeroquest's common shares on
the TSX Venture Exchange after July 23, 2008 and the common shares will
be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange at the commencement of trading
on the TSX on July 24, 2008.
Aeroquest has also amended the terms of its normal course issuer bid (the
"Bid") through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"),
which commenced December 17, 2007, to increase the number of common
shares to be purchased from 1,374,660 to 1,653,336. The increase is from
5% of Aeroquest's outstanding common shares to 10% of the public float of
common shares, as of December 7, 2007. The amended Bid has been approved
by the TSX.
The Bid will terminate on December 16, 2008, or on such earlier date as
the Bid is completed or otherwise terminated by Aeroquest. On any given
trading day, Aeroquest may purchase up to 26,393 common shares. Any
common share purchases associated with the Bid will be made on the TSX
and the purchased common shares will be cancelled. To date, Aeroquest has
purchased and cancelled 795,900 common shares under the Bid at an average
price of $2.18 per common share.
The board of directors of Aeroquest believe that the current and recent
market prices of Aeroquest's common shares do not give full effect to
their underlying value, based solely on Aeroquest's opinion of its future
prospects, and that, accordingly, the purchase of common shares pursuant
to the Bid represents an investment opportunity for Aeroquest and a
worthwhile use of its funds.
