Slide Announces $75 Million Stock Repurchase Program

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Slide Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Slide” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SLDE) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock. The authorization is effective immediately, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

“The initiation of our stock repurchase program is reflective of our strong confidence in our strategic direction, superior underwriting capabilities and well-capitalized balance sheet,” said Bruce Lucas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Slide. “Slide has a very robust balance sheet from our recent IPO as well as better than expected net margins. As a result, our capital position is very strong and we will use it to repurchase common stock when we believe it is below fair value. Share repurchases at this level provide an excellent opportunity to increase return on equity and build long-term value for our shareholders.”

Share repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at prevailing market prices, through privately negotiated transactions, or through other structures in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, at times and in amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and the amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the company’s liquidity needs, corporate and regulatory requirements and restrictions, share price, trading volume and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when the company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program does not obligate the company to purchase any particular number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
