Exhibit 99.1
Wetouch Technologies Inc. Announces $15 Million Stock Buyback Program
Chengdu, China, July 8th, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wetouch Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: WETH) ("Wetouch" or the "Company"), a leading innovator in the global touch display industry, today announced a stock buyback program to repurchase up to $15 million of the Company's common stock.
Under the program, the Company is authorized to repurchase its shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including price, trading volume, general market conditions, and other corporate considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
"We are pleased to announce this stock buyback program, which reflects our confidence in the strong and growing business of Wetouch," said Zongyi Lian, CEO of Wetouch Technologies Inc. "With over $90 million in cash and nearly $8 per share in cash, however the market capitalization is less than $30 million, we believe our stock is significantly undervalued. This buyback program represents an attractive opportunity to return value to our shareholders."
