Q: PBH / NCIB
All they have done is reissue the NICB that recently expired.
I found this towards to bottom of the NR.
"The Corporation has in place a Normal Course Issuer Bid respecting each of the above-named securities, which was filed with The Toronto Stock Exchange on August 13, 2012 and which expired on August 14, 2013. The Corporation purchased $810,000 7% Convertible Debentures under and pursuant to the terms of such Normal Course Issuer Bid. No purchases of any other of the above-named securities have been made by the Corporation pursuant to such Normal Course Issuer Bid."
As you correctly pointed out Announcing an NCIB and executing it are two different things.

Q: Hi Peter,
I am new to investing and to 5i and am a regular reader. I join the many others in thanking you for the service you provide. It is a great resource for a rookie like me.
I intend to start investing (small) and after reading the many Q’s and A’s have focused in on LIF, AYA, SYZ and SGY. I am looking for short term growth. Finally the questions… which do you think are the top two of these four to start with? And should I buy now or do you think the market will take a downturn throughout Sept and Oct as it seems to do each year?
Many thanks again.

Q: Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (TSX:PBH) announced today acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange of its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid through the facilities of the TSX and other Canadian trading platforms.
The Corporation is proposing to purchase, for cancellation, up to 5% of its issued and outstanding Common Shares, and up to 10% of the public float of each of its issued and outstanding Convertible Debentures. Does that affect my shares or the stability of the company?
