Brookfield Business Partners (NYSE: BBUC, BBU; TSX: BBUC, BBU.UN)
today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has
accepted a notice filed by Brookfield Business Partners L.P. of its
intention to renew its normal course issuer bid for its limited
partnership units (“Units”) and a notice filed by Brookfield
Business Corporation of its intention to renew its normal course
issuer bid for its class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares
(“Exchangeable Shares”). Brookfield Business Partners believes that
the Units or the Exchangeable Shares, respectively, may from time
to time trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their
value and that, in such circumstances, the acquisition of Units or
Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, may represent an attractive use
of available funds.
Brookfield Business Partners is authorized to
repurchase up to 3,730,658 Units and 3,647,745 Exchangeable Shares,
representing up to 5% of the issued and outstanding Units and
Exchangeable Shares, respectively. At the close of business on
August 8, 2023, there were 74,613,176 Units and 72,954,912
Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding. Under Brookfield
Business Partners’ normal course issuer bids, it may repurchase up
to 14,522 Units and up to 7,702 Exchangeable Shares on the TSX
during any trading day, which represents 25% of the average daily
trading volume of 58,089 Units and 30,811 Exchangeable Shares on
the TSX for the six months ended July 31, 2023.
Repurchases under each normal course issuer bid
are authorized to commence on August 17, 2023 and will terminate on
August 16, 2024, or earlier should Brookfield Business Partners
L.P. or Brookfield Business Corporation complete repurchases under
each respective normal course issuer bid prior to such date.
Under Brookfield Business Partners L.P.’s normal
course issuer bid that commenced on August 17, 2022 and will expire
on August 16, 2023, Brookfield Business Partners L.P. previously
sought and received approval from the TSX to repurchase up to
3,730,593 Units. A total of 374,533 Units were purchased under
Brookfield Business Partners L.P.’s previous normal course issuer
bid within the past twelve months through the facilities of the
TSX, the New York Stock Exchange and through the facilities of
designated exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and
the United States. The weighted average price paid per unit
acquired under this bid was US$18.88.
Under Brookfield Business Corporation’s normal
course issuer bid that commenced on August 17, 2022 and will expire
on August 16, 2023, Brookfield Business Corporation previously
sought and received approval from the TSX to repurchase up to
3,647,810 Exchangeable Shares. No Exchangeable Shares were
purchased under Brookfield Business Corporation’s previous normal
course issuer bid in the past twelve months.
Repurchases of Units and Exchangeable Shares
will be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock
Exchange or through the facilities of designated exchanges and
alternative trading systems, if eligible. All Units and
Exchangeable Shares acquired under the applicable normal course
issuer bids will be cancelled. Repurchases will be subject to

Act of 1934, as amended, as well as applicable Canadian securities

Partners does not possess material non-public information about
itself or its securities, it may enter into automatic repurchase
plans with its broker to allow for the repurchase of Units or
Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, subject to certain trading
parameters, at times when Brookfield Business Partners would
ordinarily not be active in the market due to its own internal
trading black-out period, insider trading rules or otherwise. Any
such plans entered into with the broker of Brookfield Business
Partners will be adopted in accordance with applicable Canadian and
U.S. securities laws including the requirements of Rule 10b5-1
under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Outside of these periods, Units and Exchangeable Shares
