Real Matters Announces Amendment to Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Real Matters Inc. (“Real Matters” or the “Company”) (TSX: REAL)
announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has approved an
amendment to the Company’s current Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) to
increase the number of common shares that the Company may purchase for
cancellation from 4 million common shares (approximately 5.8% of the
68,752,025 common shares in the public float as at May 31, 2018) to 5
million common shares (approximately 7.3% of the 68,752,025 common
shares in the public float as at May 31, 2018). No other terms of the
NCIB have changed.

Since commencement of the NCIB, Real Matters has purchased for
cancellation 3,727,006 common shares at a weighted average price of
$4.76. The Company’s previously approved NCIB commenced on June 11,
2018. The amended NCIB will commence on May 9, 2019, and will continue
until June 10, 2019, or such earlier date as the Company has acquired
the maximum number of common shares permitted under the NCIB. The
Company has allocated up to US$30 million towards the purchase of common
shares under the NCIB, of which US$13,374,309 has been spent to date,
leaving US$16,625,691 available for purchases. The actual number
of common shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB and the timing
of such purchases will be determined by the Company. Subject to certain
prescribed exceptions, daily purchases under the amended NCIB will
continue to be limited to a maximum of 41,436 common shares, which is
25% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common shares
for the six months ended May 31, 2018 (being 165,742 common shares).

Purchases under the NCIB will continue to be made through the facilities
of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems at the prevailing
market price at the time of acquisition. All purchased shares will be
cancelled.

Real Matters previously entered into an automatic share purchase plan
(the “Plan”) with Cormark Securities Inc. (“Cormark”) under which
Cormark may purchase the Company’s common shares for cancellation based
on a pre-arranged set of criteria determined by the Company. The Plan
will continue to apply to the amended NCIB.
