Cycurion Board Authorizes $500,000 Share Repurchase Program, Citing Meaningful Undervaluation
Rhea-AI Summary
Cycurion (NASDAQ: CYCU) announced that its Board has authorized a discretionary share repurchase program of up to $500,000 over the next 12 months. Repurchases may occur in open-market or other lawful transactions, subject to market conditions, securities laws, and other factors, and require prior approval from the Chief Financial Officer.
The authorization does not obligate Cycurion to repurchase any minimum number or dollar amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. According to the company, the recent Kustom Entertainment acquisition is expected to add more than $5 million in annual revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA. Combined with the Secuvant acquisition and a $54.6 million contract, these milestones are expected to raise Cycurion’s annualized revenue run rate to approximately $30 million. The company cites strengthened liquidity from a recent warrant inducement transaction and views the buyback authorization as part of a broader, flexible capital-allocation strategy.

Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time in open-market transactions or through other lawful methods, subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors. No repurchase may be effected without the prior approval of the Chief Financial Officer, who may withhold approval in the CFO’s sole discretion based on liquidity, projected cash requirements, financing restrictions, or other financial considerations. The authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
“We believe Cycurion is meaningfully undervalued relative to the business we have built and the trajectory we are on,” said L.

The repurchase authorization is intentionally structured as a discretionary ceiling rather than a commitment. It gives management the flexibility to return capital when conditions warrant while keeping liquidity, integration priorities, and operating needs firmly in front.
Any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and Delaware law, including the capital impairment limitations of Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, will be evaluated on a purchase-by-purchase basis, and may be made pursuant to a plan established in advance. The Company will report repurchase activity under the program in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This authorization is one element of a broader capital-allocation approach that management and the Board will continue to evaluate as the Company’s fundamentals continue to strengthen.
