Cognyte Announces Board Authorization of $20 Million Share Repurchase Program

Program reaffirms board’s commitment to creating shareholder value

Cognyte Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGNT), a global leader in investigative analytics software, today announced that its board of directors has approved a share repurchase program, authorizing the buyback of up to $20 million in ordinary shares over the next 18 months through June 12, 2026, as part of its capital allocation strategy. This program underscores the board and management’s confidence in the Company’s growth prospects, its strong cash generation capabilities, and its long-term potential, while reaffirming its commitment to delivering value to shareholders.

The Company may repurchase its ordinary shares from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with U.S. securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into plans that are compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of ordinary shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. Repurchases under the repurchase program may begin after the conclusion of a 30-day period for creditors of the Company to object to the Company's intent to effect a deemed distribution by way of repurchase in accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies Whose Securities are Traded on Stock Exchanges Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Approval of Distribution), 5761–2001. The timing, number and value of shares to be repurchased will depend on the market price of the Company's ordinary shares, general market and economic conditions, and other factors. The Company expects to fund repurchases with cash on its balance sheet and ongoing cash flow generation. Any shares acquired will be available for general corporate purposes.
