Off The Hook Yachts Announces Share Buyback Plan

Wilmington, NC, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off the Hook” or the “Company”), America's largest buyer and seller of pre-owned boats, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $1.0 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

“Today’s stock price and market capitalization do not, in management’s view, fully reflect the underlying value of our business, our cash-generation potential, or the long-term opportunity we see ahead,” said Brian John, Chief Executive Officer of Off The Hook Yachts. “We believe we are building a category-defining platform in the pre-owned boat market, powered by technology, inventory expertise, and a growing national footprint. This share repurchase authorization underscores our confidence in the Company’s strategy and our commitment to disciplined capital allocation on behalf of shareholders.”

The Company expects to fund repurchases, if any, from existing cash on hand and future cash flows. Off The Hook will continue to prioritize investments that support profitable growth, including inventory expansion, technology initiatives, and strategic real estate and operational build-outs.
