~ Dividend Distribution Advances Shareholder-Focused Capital Program ~

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. ("Abacus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management industry, today announced the timing of its previously announced inaugural annual cash dividend to shareholders, as approved by its Board of Directors.

The Company's Board of Directors has declared an annual cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on December 17, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 2, 2025, which will also serve as the ex-dividend date. As outlined in the Company's capital allocation framework, Abacus intends to distribute an annual dividend of up to 25% of adjusted net income or up to 55% of recurring revenue.

"Introducing an annual dividend is a significant milestone for Abacus and reflects our confidence in the strength and sustainability of our business," said Jay Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect to fund the dividend through cash on hand and free cash flow, supported by record cash generation, growing fee-based revenues, and expanding margins. This step reinforces our disciplined capital allocation strategy, balancing investment in origination growth, technology, and acquisitions with returning capital to shareholders, while positioning Abacus for long-term value creation."

Dividend Policy

Abacus has adopted a dividend policy designed to balance consistent shareholder returns with strategic growth investments.

Under the policy, the Board of Directors will evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through dividends. Dividend decisions will be based on several factors including operating cash flow generation, capital requirements for portfolio growth, regulatory considerations, and strategic investment opportunities across the Company's business verticals.

The policy provides the Board with flexibility to declare dividends when appropriate while maintaining adequate liquidity to support portfolio origination and business expansion. While the Company is committed to this dividend framework, specific dividend declarations remain at the Board's discretion based on business conditions.
