(NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global\n leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, today\n announced it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the\n TSX) to launch its previously announced Normal Course Issuer Bid (the\n Bid).\n\n\nUnder the Bid, the Company may repurchase on the open market, at its\n discretion during the period commencing on August 7, 2013 and ending on\n the earlier of August 6, 2014 and the completion of purchases under the\n Bid, up to 9,842,021 subordinate voting shares, representing\n approximately 5.95% of the Company's outstanding subordinate voting\n shares (5.34% of the subordinate voting shares and multiple voting\n shares) and approximately 10% of the \"public float\" of the subordinate\n voting shares (within the meaning of the rules of the TSX), subject to\n the normal terms and limitations of such bids.
