Analysis · TRI · Manufacturing
The Thomson family's holding vehicles (Woodbridge/Thomson Investments, ~70.34% owner) sold 300,000 shares on Nov 12-13 at roughly $109.30-$109.49 in the US and CAD$155.85-CAD$156.07 in Canada, and signed an Automatic Disposition Plan with TD Securities to sell proportionately into the company's new $500 million NCIB. Small relative to the 304.9 million shares the family controls, the sales nonetheless formalize a mechanism for the controlling holder to participate in buybacks — a structural detail investors should understand. The filing also cleans up the family structure: several entities exited via amalgamation and charitable donation, with no change to the family's aggregate beneficial ownership.
