Actelis Networks, Inc. Authorizes up to $1 Million Share Repurchase Program

FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actelis Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNS) (“Actelis” or the “Company”), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for wide-area IoT networks, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $1 million of its outstanding shares of common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program").

The Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and other applicable legal requirements. The Company expects to fund these repurchases through existing cash balances. Decisions regarding the amount and timing of purchases under the Share Repurchase Program will be based on the Company’s cash on hand, cash flows from operations, general market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. Actelis is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of its common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. The Share Repurchase Program has no set termination date and may be suspended or discontinued by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

“We believe that there is a disconnect between our current share-price and the fair value of our stock,” said Tuvia Barlev, CEO of Actelis. “2022 has been a year of investment and growth for Actelis and with our continuous efforts, we look forward to further accelerate our growth. The authorization of this Share Repurchase Program reflects our leadership’s confidence in the trajectory of the organization and our ability to generate long-term shareholder value.”
