ABL Abacus Global Management Inc

Abacus Global Management, Inc. (“Abacus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management space, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $20 million share repurchase program, effective June 5, 2025 for over a period of up to 18 months, as well as recent Form 4 and other employee share purchases totaling over $2 million.

"While it is unfortunate that Abacus Global Management has been subject to a short attack, we believe our artificially depressed share price represents an excellent buying opportunity for the Company,” said Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus Global Management. “We believe this is validated by our newly authorized share repurchase program, reflecting our Board’s continued confidence in our business model and strength of our balance sheet, and also by our employees who have spent over $2 million combined of their own money in recent share purchases. Our returns and valuation are audited, and consistent with a 20-year track record of generating positive revenue. We will not allow this distraction to affect our continued growth and our day-to-day operations.”

During the pendency of the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future.

Abacus is committed to pursuing all available legal remedies against the individuals and entities responsible for orchestrating and disseminating the false and misleading short attack.
