Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a prominent Canadian investment firm, has released a statement regarding its upcoming Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB). This decision comes after the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) accepted a notice filed by the company, detailing its plans to repurchase subordinate voting shares and preferred shares.
