Richardson, TX, August 26, 2026 – Vistance Networks (NASDAQ: VISN) (“Vistance” or the “Company”), a global provider of intelligent network solutions, today announced that as part of ongoing efforts to maximize shareholder value, its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $150 million for its share repurchase program.
“This expanded authorization reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vistance Networks. “We will continue to evaluate share repurchases against other strategic uses of capital and act when we believe repurchases offer compelling risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.”

The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and alternative uses for cash. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
