Item 8.01 Other Events.

Completion of Share Repurchase Plan

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. has completed the share repurchase plan previously announced on February 7, 2019.  Between February 18, 2019 and August 31, 2019, the Company repurchased a total of 250,000 shares of its common stock representing approximately 5.9% of the previously issued and outstanding shares.  The total cost was $2,168,065 at an average share price of $8.67 per share.  These shares were returned to treasury for cancellation. Upon completion of the repurchase plan, the Company has a total of 3,960,538 common shares outstanding.

Closure of MSI-Pro

Effective September 1, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided to close the MSI-Pro division (“MSI”). MSI is an importer and distributor of pneumatic air tools and industrial clamps in the United States. The Company’s products have not kept pace with changes in the overall market, and efforts to drive further sales and margin growth have been unsuccessful due to a lack of market differentiation and changing customer patterns. MSI has two full-time employees. One employee will move into a different position with Jewett-Cameron and the other will retire. The costs to close the unit and liquidate the remaining inventory is not anticipated to be significant, as the unit accounted for approximately 2% of the Company’s total sales, and incurred a pre-tax loss of $20,604, during the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
