Zedge Provides Shareholder Update on Capital Return Initiatives

Adds $2 Million to Existing Class B Common Stock Repurchase Authorization; 

Announces Quarterly Dividend Payment Details

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 8, 2026 / Zedge, Inc. (NYSE American:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a company that builds and operates creator communities serving 20 million monthly active users, today announced its Board of Directors approved a $2.0 million increase to the existing share repurchase authorization for its Class B common stock. This new authorization adds to the previously approved $5.0 million share repurchase authorization, under which the Company has bought back almost 1.5 million shares of its class B common stock for approximately $4.8 million as of June 4, 2026. The Board of Directors also approved payment of the Company’s $0.02 quarterly dividend.

Jonathan Reich, Zedge’s CEO commented:

“Having substantially completed our prior $5.0 million share repurchase program, our Board has authorized a $2.0 million increase to the prior authorization, reflecting our continued belief that our shares are undervalued and represent an attractive use of capital and our ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders through multiple channels. Zedge generates consistent free cash flow, is debt-free and that balance sheet strength is precisely what gives us the flexibility to execute a multifaceted capital return strategy. Earlier this fiscal year we initiated our first-ever dividend and just recently raised it 25%, and today’s repurchase authorization is the next expression of that same discipline. What I want shareholders to understand is that none of this comes at the expense of growth. We are actively investing in DataSeeds, our Product Innovation Team and the broader Zedge platform, and we are funding all of it from cash flow without touching the balance sheet.”

Dividend Details:

• Quarterly Dividend Amount: $0.02 per share of class B common stock, representing an annualized dividend of $0.08 per share;

• Record Date: June 22, 2026;

• Payment Date: June 30, 2026.

Purchases under the program will be made from time to time, as permitted by securities laws and through, at the Company’s discretion, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other paths. The Company will determine the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. In furtherance of the buyback, the Company plans to enter into a “Rule 10b5-1 plan” to allow for continuous repurchases of its Class B common stock regardless of the Company’s trading window restrictions.
