Perfect Corp. Announces US$20 million Share Repurchase Plan by the Company

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF) (“Perfect” or the “Company”), a global leader in providing augmented reality (“AR”) and artificial intelligence (“AI”) Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions to beauty and fashion industries, today announced its board of directors (the “Board”) has authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may repurchase up to US$20 million of its Class A ordinary shares over the next 12-month period. The Company plans to adopt and implement such share repurchase plan in accordance with applicable rules and requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company’s insider trading policy.

This authorization reflects the Board’s belief that the shares of the Company are currently undervalued. Ms. Alice H. Chang, the Founder, Chairwoman, and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect, commented, “Based on the strength of our balance sheet, coupled with our recent strong growth momentum in AR/AI cloud solutions and subscription revenues as well as long-term outlook, we believe an opportunity exists to create value for our shareholders while continuing to fund operations and invest in our key growth-driving initiatives.”

The Company’s proposed repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The timing and dollar amount of repurchase transactions made pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan will be subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance, alternative uses of capital, stock price, regulatory requirements and general market conditions. The Board will review the share repurchase plan periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The Company expects to fund the repurchases out of its existing cash balance.
