LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / AI Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:AIFC)(FRA:5AR1) (the “Company” or “AiFi”), a fintech company providing blockchain-powered payment, trading, and settlement infrastructure for digital assets, today provided an update on its previously announced share repurchase program.
Through June 18, 2026, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 1,434,651 shares of its common stock in open-market transactions at an aggregate cost of approximately $1.84 million, including commissions and fees. This total includes 210,000 shares purchased on June 17, 2026.
The Company announced the share repurchase program on January 29, 2026, following authorization by its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $100 million of common stock , subject to a maximum of 50 million shares, at prices below what the Company believes to be its net asset value per share.
In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2026, for the period ended March 28, 2026, the Company disclosed that it had purchased and retired 1,070,000 shares in March 2026 and made additional open-market purchases in April and May 2026 with the intent to retire those shares. The cumulative figures announced today reflect continued execution under the program through June 18, 2026.
Tony Isaac, Chief Executive Officer of AI Financial Corporation, commented: “We believe AiFi’s current share price materially undervalues the Company’s assets and long-term opportunity. Repurchasing shares below our estimated net asset value can be accretive to shareholders and represents an attractive use of capital at current prices. Our purchases to date demonstrate our conviction and continued execution under the program, while preserving our flexibility to evaluate future repurchases alongside the Company’s liquidity requirements and broader strategic priorities.”
“Our continued execution under the share repurchase program reflects disciplined capital allocation and our belief in the underlying value of AI Financial. We believe repurchasing shares at prices below net asset value can represent an attractive use of capital and support long-term shareholder value. We will continue to evaluate additional repurchases opportunistically alongside broader strategic priorities.”
The timing, amount and manner of any future repurchases will be determined by the Company based on market conditions, the trading price of its common stock, available liquidity, applicable securities laws and other relevant considerations. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
