PETAH-TIKVA, Israel, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global-e Online Ltd. (NASDAQ:GLBE), the platform powering global direct-to-consumer e-commerce, today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a "distribution", as defined in the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law") by way of a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase an aggregate amount of up to $500 million of its ordinary shares (the "Distribution"), subject to the completion of required Israeli regulatory procedures.

"As we have now completed approximately 80% of our $200 million 2025 repurchase plan, we are pleased to announce a new, incremental $500 million repurchase program. This new plan reflects our confidence in the company's ability to generate strong, sustainable cash flow while continuing to invest in strategic initiatives. Returning capital to shareholders in the form of repurchases is an important lever within our capital allocation strategy," said Ofer Koren, Global-e's CFO.

Under the Board authorized repurchase program, Company securities may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with U.S. securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company may also, from time to time, enter into plans that are compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases of its securities under this authorization. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of securities, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. Repurchases under the repurchase program may begin after conclusion of the 30-day period for creditors of the Company to object to the Company's intention to effect the distribution by way of repurchase in accordance with the Companies Law and the promulgated Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies Whose Securities are Traded on Stock Exchanges Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 (the "Relief Regulations"), and Companies Regulations (Approval of Distribution), 5761–2001. The actual timing, number and value of securities repurchased depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company's ordinary shares, general market and economic conditions, any objections received by the Company from its creditors, the Company's financial results and liquidity, and other considerations. The Company expects to fund repurchases with cash on hand and future cash generated from its operations. According to Section 7C(C) of the Relief Regulations, the Company's creditors may apply to the Company and object to the Distribution, within 30 days following its publication.
