(Nasdaq: AEYE) (“AudioEye” or the “Company”), an industry-leading digital accessibility company, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized the repurchase of up to $15 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock expiring on October 18, 2027.

The new program replaces the share repurchase authorization that was originally scheduled to expire on January 24, 2027, which prior authorization was terminated in connection with the new authorization.

The Company may repurchase stock from time to time in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable requirements.
