VALCOURT, QUEBEC, CANADA – May 9, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO, NASDAQ: DOOO) today announced the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid (“SIB”), pursuant to which BRP offered to purchase for cancellation a number of its subordinate voting shares (“Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $250 million at a purchase price of not less than $103.00 and not more than $123.00 per Share.
