Quarterly Dividend

The Company is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.01 per common share to be paid in the first quarter of 2023. The dividend will be paid on January 13, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 30, 2022.

For shareholders residing in Canada, the dividend will be paid in Canadian dollars based on the daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on December 30, 2022. The dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The dividend is subject to customary Canadian withholding tax for shareholders that are not resident in Canada.

Normal Course Issuer Bid Renewal

The Company's NCIB is being renewed after the existing NCIB expires on November 18, 2022. The current NCIB provides Vox with the option to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,968,056 common shares as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time. Under the terms of the renewed NCIB, the Company may repurchase for cancellation up to 2,229,697 common shares, being 5% of the total number of 44,593,950 common shares outstanding as at November 7, 2022. The repurchases are to be made at market prices through the facilities of the TSXV or other recognized Canadian marketplaces, or through the facilities of the Nasdaq, during the period November 21, 2022 to November 20, 2023.

The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares does not reflect the Company's underlying value and future prospects and that, at such times, the repurchase of the Company's common shares represents an appropriate use of its financial resources and will enhance shareholder value. Independent Trading Group (ITG), Inc. has been appointed by Vox as its broker to assist with NCIB repurchases and subsequent share cancellations.

In the last twelve months, the Company has repurchased and cancelled 215,400 common shares pursuant to its NCIB at a weighted average price of C$3.07 per common share through the facilities of the TSXV and other recognized Canadian marketplaces.
