Global Education Communities ( (TSE:GEC) ) has issued an announcement.

Global Education Communities Corp. has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to initiate a normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 4,000,000 common shares, representing a significant portion of its public float. This move is seen as a strategic use of funds, reflecting management’s belief that the current market prices do not fully capture the company’s value and future prospects. The buyback is expected to enhance shareholder value by reducing the number of shares outstanding, potentially improving earnings per share and market perception.
