Star Metro - ACCESS Newswire Continues to Repurchase its Shares

The previous share repurchase plan retired just over 150,000 shares, or 4% of the currently issued and outstanding shares.

"Returning capital to our stockholders remains an important part of how we allocate cash," said Brian R. Balbirnie, ACCESS Newswire's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Our business continues to generate consistent cash flow, which allows us to meet our obligations and invest in our strategic priorities while putting excess cash to work repurchasing our shares. This program reflects our continued confidence in ACCESS Newswire's business strategy".

Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time in open market transactions in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased, if any, will depend on market conditions, the price of the Company's common stock, trading volume and the parameters of the trading plan. The repurchase program may be extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time, subject to applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to fund the repurchase program, which runs through December 31, 2026, from its existing cash flows from operations. The Company had 3,769,479 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 12, 2026.
