TransAlta Initiates Automatic Share Purchase Plan to Enhance Shareholder Value

TransAlta ( (TSE:TA) ) has shared an update.

On March 26, 2025, TransAlta Corporation announced the implementation of an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) to facilitate the repurchase of its common shares under a previously approved normal course issuer bid (NCIB). This initiative, effective April 1, 2025, allows TransAlta’s broker to buy shares even during periods when the company would typically be restricted from doing so, enhancing shareholder returns through strategic capital allocation. The plan underscores TransAlta’s commitment to leveraging its strong cash flow position to optimize shareholder value, with all shares purchased under the ASPP to be canceled.
