~ Board Actions Reflect Confidence in the Company's Long-Term Business Model, Recurring Earnings, and Capital Strength ~

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. ("Abacus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ABL), a leader in the alternative asset management industry, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an annual cash dividend of $0.20 per share, to shareholders with an ex-dividend as of December 2, 2025. Under this program, the Company intends to distribute an annual dividend of up to 25% of adjusted net income or up to 55% of recurring revenue. In addition, the Board has authorized a $10 million share repurchase program, effective November 6, 2025, as part of the Company's capital allocation strategy framework.

"The decision to initiate an annual dividend marks a defining moment for Abacus, underscoring both our confidence in and validation of the strategy that is building durable, recurring earnings," said Jay Jackson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our balance sheet and cash generation are at record levels, supported by increasing capital inflows into our longevity funds, growing fee income, and expanding margins. Simply put, Abacus has more than enough cash to meet increasing origination demand, pursue acquisitions, while returning capital to shareholders."

Jackson continued, "We just reported our strongest quarter to date, with exceptional visibility across both our origination platform and asset management business. The introduction of a dividend, while an important milestone, is only one component of a broader capital allocation strategy designed to create long-term shareholder value. With recurring revenues expected to approach 70% of total revenue over time, our goal is to continue the trajectory of fostering a durable, cash-generating business capable of both compounding growth and driving shareholder returns. This disciplined approach ensures our business will continue to expand, and shareholders will benefit directly from the strength and sustainability of earnings."

Abacus expects to fund the annual dividend and repurchase program through cash on hand and free cash flow. The Company's capital allocation strategy is designed to balance continued investment in origination growth, technology, and acquisitions with the return of capital to shareholders through an annual dividend and the announced shareholder buyback program.

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.
