Such repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s priorities for the use of cash, price, market and economic conditions, its liquidity requirements, and legal and contractual restrictions. During the fourth quarter of 2022 to date, the Company has repurchased $9.07 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes in the open market.

New York, December 14, 2022 - Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY) today announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to purchase up to 543,000 shares of the Company’s Class A non-voting common stock, representing approximately 5% of its 10,867,660 currently issued and outstanding shares of Class A non-voting common stock. This authorization will supplement the 144,034 shares that remain authorized and available under the Company’s previous share repurchase program covering up to 536,500 shares of the Company’s Class A non-voting common stock, which was announced on July 29, 2022, for a total of 687,034 shares authorized and available for repurchase.
