FAX Capital Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX: FXC and FXC.WT) today announced that it expects to report its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 on March 25, 2021. As at December 31, 2020, the Company’s unaudited book value per share was approximately $4.80 per share, an approximate 11% increase from December 31, 2019 and a 7% increase from September 30, 2020.
