SVS Repurchase Plans:
In recent years, we have repurchased SVS in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, for cancellation through normal course issuer bids (NCIBs), which allow us to repurchase a limited number of SVS during a specified period. The maximum number of SVS we are permitted to repurchase for cancellation under each NCIB is reduced by the number of SVS we arrange to be purchased by any non-independent broker in the open market during the term of such NCIB to satisfy delivery obligations under our SBC plans. We from time-to-time enter into automatic share purchase plans (ASPPs) with a broker, instructing the broker to purchase our SVS in the open market on our behalf, either for cancellation under an NCIB (NCIB ASPPs) or for delivery obligations under our SBC plans (SBC ASPPs), including during any applicable trading blackout periods, up to specified maximums (and subject to certain pricing and other conditions) through the term of each ASPP.
On December 2, 2021, the TSX accepted our notice to launch an NCIB (2021 NCIB), which allowed us to repurchase, at our discretion, from December 6, 2021 until the earlier of December 5, 2022 or the completion of purchases thereunder, up to approximately 9.0 million of our SVS in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. We entered into an NCIB ASPP in December 2021, which has since expired. As of December 31, 2021, we accrued $7.5, representing the estimated contractual maximum number of permitted SVS repurchases (Contractual Maximum Quantity) under the December 2021 NCIB ASPP (0.7 million SVS), which was reversed in Q1 2022. In December 2021, we entered into an SBC ASPP, which has since expired. We recorded an accrual as of December 31, 2021 of $33.8, representing the estimated Contractual Maximum Quantity (3.0 million SVS) under the December 2021 SBC ASPP, which was reversed in Q1 2022.
On December 8, 2022, the TSX accepted our notice to launch another NCIB (2022 NCIB). The 2022 NCIB allows us to repurchase, at our discretion, from December 13, 2022 until the earlier of December 12, 2023 or the completion of purchases thereunder, up to approximately 8.8 million of our SVS in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 7.7 million SVS remain available for repurchase under the 2022 NCIB either for cancellation or SBC delivery purposes. In December 2022, we entered into an NCIB ASPP that expired prior to December 31, 2022 (such that no accrual was recorded as of December 31, 2022). We recorded an accrual as of March 31, 2023 of $5.0 (March 2023 NCIB Accrual), representing the contractual maximum spend for SVS repurchases for cancellation under an NCIB ASPP executed in February 2023.
