This authorization will supplement the 120,155 shares that remain authorized and available under the Company’s previous share repurchase program covering up to 543,000 shares of the Company’s Class A non-voting common stock, which was announced on December 14, 2022, for a total of 638,155 shares authorized and available for repurchase. The share repurchase program is expected to continue indefinitely.

In addition, the Company has repurchased and may continue to seek to repurchase its outstanding 5.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) from time to time through, as applicable, tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. 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 $11.95 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes in the open market.

New York, March 4, 2024 - 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 518,000 shares of the Company’s Class A non-voting common stock, representing approximately 5% of its 10,357,376 currently issued and outstanding shares of Class A non-voting common stock. This authorization will supplement the 120,155 shares that remain authorized and available under the Company’s previous share repurchase program covering up to 543,000 shares of the Company’s Class A non-voting common stock, which was announced on December 14, 2022, for a total of 638,155 shares authorized and available for repurchase.
