-- Enghouse Systems Limited(ENGH.TO)は、トロント証券取引所の規定に従い、自社普通株式の通常自己株式取得プログラムを更新する意向であると、月曜日に発表した。 Enghouseは声明の中で、引き続き「相当な」現金準備金と「プラス」のキャッシュフローを維持しているものの、自社普通株式の市場価格が「時折」魅力的な水準になる可能性があり、そのような場合には普通株式の取得が会社の利益に最も適し、企業資金の適切な活用になると判断したため、通常自己株式取得プログラムを更新すると述べた。 同社は、2026年4月23日時点で発行済株式数42,326,459株の約7.1%に相当する、最大300万株の普通株式を取得する可能性があると述べた。 Enghouseは、2026年4月23日時点で発行済普通株式数が54,386,859株であると述べている。同社は、当該株式の買付価格は取得時の市場価格とし、買付により取得された普通株式はすべて消却されると付け加えた。実際に買付される普通株式の数および買付時期は、価格、取引量、その他の市場状況を考慮し、同社が決定する。 ブロック買付を除き、1日あたりの買付数は62,060株に制限される。これは、2026年3月31日までの6ヶ月間のトロント証券取引所(TSX)における1日平均取引量248,243株の25%に相当する。自動買付制度は買付開始時には導入されないが、将来的に導入される可能性があると付け加えた。 買付は2026年5月7日に開始され、買付上限数に達した場合を除き、2027年5月6日に終了する。株式の取得は、トロント証券取引所(TSX)のシステム、および/またはカナダ国内のその他の代替取引システムを通じて行われます。当社は、通常の自己株式取得(通常コース・イシュー)を実施する意向を以前に通知しており、TSXに対し、2025年5月7日から2026年5月6日までの期間に最大300万株の普通株式を取得する承認を求め、承認を得ています。この承認に基づき、当社は768,632株の普通株式を取得しました。 ENGHの株価は、先週金曜日にTSXで2.6%上昇しました。

EMEA Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise Nearly 2% With Markets Skeptical of Trump's Plan
European natural gas futures were up on Monday, despite US President Donald Trump's recent plans to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.The front-month Dutch TTF contract was up 1.69% to 46.54 euros ($54.49) per megawatt-hour, while the UK NBP contract was closed due to the Early May Bank Holiday.In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump said that US forces would use their "best efforts" to get the ships and crew stranded in the Persian Gulf safely out of the Strait. Referring to it as "Project Freedom," Trump said that this would begin on Monday morning.Yet, European natural gas prices continued to rally, as ING analysts noted that the "market does not seem convinced by the plan," especially since it does little to enable inbound traffic. This would only amount to "temporary relief" the note said, allowing floating storage to leave the Gulf.Meanwhile, Iran has received a response to its latest proposal from the US, with Tehran's 14-point peace plan calling for an end to the hostilities between the two nations within the next 30 days, according to the Tasnim News Agency. The US, however, is yet to officially confirm that it has responded to the proposal.Additionally, supply concerns in global gas markets have also been subdued due to "the current shoulder season," according to Daniel Hynes, a senior commodity strategist at ANZ. He also noted that this lull is giving markets a bit of breathing room to properly assess the impact of ongoing disruptions.The Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for one-fifth of global LNG flows, remained effectively closed for the tenth week running, with just 12 vessels transiting over the past 24 hours, according to the Hormuz Strait Monitor.At the same time, European gas inventories are still depleted going into refilling season, at just 33.42% of capacity, compared to 40.29% during this period last year, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe.

Errington Metals Further Defines Errington Zone at Sudbury Project With 2025 Drilling
Errington Metals (EM.V) has better defined the size and shape of the Errington mineralized zone, which is part of its Sudbury Basin Project in Ontario, the company said on Monday.The Errington zone remains open along strike and at depth (down-dip) with priority areas identified for follow-up exploration drilling. Multiple holes also intersected copper- and gold-rich stringer mineralization, and elevated copper values within zinc-rich massive sulphide intervals, a statement added.Key intercepts from the 2025 diamond drilling program include 23.8 m grading 3.98% copper, 5.76% zinc, 2.61 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and and 130.2 g/t silver.Errington said the results improve confidence in the continuity of mineralization and will feed into 3D geological modelling and an updated mineral resource estimate targeted for the second half of this year.Errington shares closed down $0.04, to $2.96, on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
