MELBOURNE, Australia, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:PPCB) ("Propanc" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for chronic diseases, including recurrent and metastatic cancer, today announced it has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $5.0 million of its common stock.

"With our recent advancements of the Company's lead asset, PRP, towards entering the clinic with a novel, first-in-class cancer therapy to treat and prevent metastatic cancer from solid tumors with a pivotal Phase 1b, First-In-Human study in 30 to 40 advanced cancer patients, the management team believes we are entering a transformative stage for the Company. The work we've undertaken throughout this recent period, publishing key scientific data, filing patentable discoveries, forming partnerships with CRO's, CDMO's and suppliers, has us well positioned to advance PRP meaningfully and efficiently to achieve significant clinical milestones. This is further supported by US FDA Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer which provides us with seven-year exclusivity in the market, post approval. The foundation is clearly there and as a result, we believe we are undervalued significantly," said Mr. James Nathanielsz, Propanc's Chief Executive Officer. "Furthermore, this decision reflects our commitment to disciplined, flexible capital allocation. Repurchases will be considered when we believe the market price meaningfully understates intrinsic value and when buybacks compete favorably relative to other uses of capital. We believe we are approaching such a position. Importantly, when executed thoughtfully, buybacks allow continuing shareholders to increase their ownership in the Company's underlying assets, improve per share economics over time, and signal management's confidence in the long-term value of the business, while still preserving the financial flexibility needed to pursue attractive opportunities as they arise."

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may buy back its common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and federal and state laws governing such transactions, through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, purchases through 10b5-1 trading plans, or by any combination of such methods. The repurchase program does not oblige the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, discontinued, or suspended at any time.
