Exhibit 10.1
SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
This Separation Agreement and General Release
(the “Agreement”) confirms the following understandings and agreements between TransAct Technologies Incorporated,
a Delaware corporation with a mailing address of One Hamden Center, 2319 Whitney Avenue, Suite 3B, Hamden, CT 06518 (the “Company”)
and Steven A. DeMartino (“Executive”) (the Company and Executive are collectively, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
1. (a) By mutual agreement, Executive’s
employment with the Company, whether pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreement between the Company and Executive dated September
4, 2024 (the “Employment Agreement”) or otherwise, is ending. Provided that Executive signs this Agreement on or within
21 days of receiving it (the “Deadline”), does not revoke his execution, and complies with its terms, Executive’s
employment with the Company will continue through and end on June 30, 2026, unless earlier terminated by Executive or by the Company for
Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Executive’s last day of employment with the Company, whether June 30, 2026, or earlier,
will be referred to as the “Separation Date”.
(b) From
the date of this Agreement through the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), Executive agrees to continue to perform
his duties and responsibilities in good faith, transition his duties, responsibilities and knowledge as directed by the Company, and perform
other reasonable services as requested by the Company, including but not limited to onboarding a successor Chief Financial Officer. In
addition, Executive agrees that during the Transition Period, Executive will devote his full skill and ability to promote the Company’s
interests, work with other employees of the Company and its affiliates in a competent and professional manner and generally promote the
interests of the Company. Executive will be paid at his regular annual salary rate of $407,958 through the Separation Date.
(c) On
the Separation Date, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from any officer positions he may hold with the Company and any other positions
or roles he may hold with respect to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive agrees to execute
such other documents as the Company or the Board shall reasonably determine to be necessary to effectuate this paragraph.
(d) Executive’s
regular coverage under the Company’s group health plan will terminate on the last day of the Separation Date’s month. Thereafter,
Executive will be provided an opportunity to continue health coverage for himself and qualifying dependents under the Company’s
group health plan in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”).
(e) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Executive will retain any rights that Executive has to vested benefits under the Company’s
401(k) Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan. In addition, except as set forth below in Section 2, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the treatment of any outstanding options, restricted stock units and performance share units,
whether vested or unvested, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable award and plan documents, including the Company’s
Equity Incentive Plan, and Executive’s separation from the Company shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause with respect
to such award and plan documents. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth below in Section 2, all unvested options, restricted
stock units and performance share units will be forfeited as of the Separation Date.
1
(f) Except
as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, after the Separation Date, Executive shall no longer be entitled to any further
compensation or any monies from the Company or any of its affiliates or to receive any of the benefits made available to Executive during
Executive’s employment at the Company. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has paid to Executive all of his wages
as of his execution (and re-execution as applicable) of this Agreement and that the Company owes Executive no wages, commissions, bonuses,
vacation pay, employee benefits, or other compensation or payments of any kind or nature, other than as provided in this Agreement.
(g) After
the Separation Date, Executive will continue to be covered by the Company’s D&O insurance policy within the terms of that policy,
and the Company will continue to indemnify Executive with respect to all actions taken by Executive within the scope of Executive’s
employment with the Company.
(h) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, Executive will be paid a lump sum for any earned by unused vacation time as of the Separation Date,
at Executive’s regular salary rate, less any applicable withholdings and deductions, consistent with the Company’s policy.
2. Provided
Executive (i) signs and returns this Agreement to the Company by the Deadline and does not revoke his execution, (ii) complies with its
terms, (iii) does not resign his employment and is not terminated for Cause on or before June 30, 2026, and (iv) re-executes this Agreement
and does not revoke his execution in accordance with Section 12 below, the Company agrees to the following:
(a) The
Company will pay the Executive $101,989.50, less applicable withholdings and deductions, which represents a pro-rated bonus for 2026 based
on an annual bonus target of $203,979.00 (50% of annual base salary). Such payment will be paid to Executive in 2027, at the same time
as 2026 bonuses are paid to Company executives, but in no event later than March 15, 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, this payment is
in lieu of any bonus for which Executive may be eligible with respect to the Company’s bonus plan; and
(b) If
Executive timely elects to continue his group health insurance, including for his qualifying dependents, pursuant to COBRA, the Company
will directly pay for such health insurance COBRA premiums for eighteen (18) months; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation
under this Section 2(b) shall cease on the date Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health
plan. Executive agrees to notify the Company if he becomes eligible for another employer’s group health plan within 18 months following
the Separation Date; and
2
(c) If
during the Transition Period, Executive transitions to and collaborates with the Company’s accounting department to assist in beginning
to simplify the preparation of the Vertical Market P&L report (in substantially the same form as the one included on page 156 of the
Board of Directors’ package for the February 25, 2026 meeting) on a quarterly basis, Executive will receive a payment in the amount
of $100,000, less applicable withholdings and deductions. Such amount will be paid to Executive in the second payroll period following
the Company’s receipt of Executive’s re-executed Agreement; and
(d) The
Company and Executive will enter into the Advisory Agreement attached as Appendix 1; and
(e) As
of the execution of this Agreement, Executive has the following unvested Performance Share Units (“PSUs”): (i) 20,873
unvested PSUs pursuant to a May 1, 2025 grant; and (ii) an additional 20,874 unvested PSUs pursuant to a May 1, 2025 grant (collectively,
the “Unvested PSUs”). Subject to Board approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, the Unvested PSUs will vest on the
Separation Date and will otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable grant agreement(s) and 2014 equity incentive
plan; and
(f) Subject
to Board approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, all unexpired stock options granted to Executive and vested as of the Separation Date
may be exercised by Executive until the earlier of their expiration date or three years following the Separation Date, after which time
any such vested, unexercised stock options will expire.
(g) Executive
will be permitted to retain his Company-issued mobile phone and the telephone number associated with the mobile phone. The Company will
work with Executive in good faith, on a timely basis, and using commercially reasonable measures in order to transfer the service for
Executive’s mobile number to a mobile carrier of Executive’s choice, and Executive agrees to pay for all expenses related
to such plan beginning on the day following the Separation Date.
(h) The
Company shall prepare, pay for, and file (after Executive’s review and approval) any SEC filings required to be filed by Executive
as a result of his equity holdings in the Company, including without limitation any Form 4 or 13G filings, for up to one year following
the re-execution date of this Agreement.
(i) The
Company and Executive will collaborate in good faith concerning any press release and SEC filing concerning the execution of this Agreement
and/or Executive’s separation. The Company will not release any press release nor file any filing without the consent of Executive,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3. (a) As used in this Agreement,
the term “Claims” shall include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of
action, obligations, debts, attorneys' fees, accounts, judgments, losses and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, equity
or otherwise.
3
(b) For
and in consideration of the payments and benefits set forth above, and other good and valuable consideration, Executive, for and on behalf
of himself and his heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective the Effective Date, does fully and forever release, remise
and discharge the Company and its direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together with their respective officers,
directors, partners, shareholders, employees and agents (collectively, the “Group”) from any and all claims that Executive
had, may have had, or now have against the Company or any other member of the Group, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever,
including any Claim arising out of or attributable to Executive’s employment or the termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company, including but not limited to Claims of breach of contract, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel
or slander, or under any federal, state or local law regarding discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, religion, disability,
sexual orientation or any other protected category. This release of Claims includes, but is not limited to, all Claims arising under
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Connecticut Family and Medical Leave Act, the Connecticut Fair
Employment Practices Act, the Connecticut Whistleblower Law, the Connecticut Free Speech Law, the Connecticut Minimum Wage and Wage Payment
laws, all other federal, state and local labor, anti-discrimination and other laws and regulations and the common law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the release in this Agreement does not extend to those rights that cannot be waived as a matter of law nor does it extend
to Executive’s vested rights under any Company benefit plan.
(c) Executive
specifically releases all claims against the Group under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the “ADEA”) relating
to Executive’s employment with the Company through his execution (and re-execution, as applicable) of this Agreement and its termination.
(d) Executive
represents that he has not filed or permitted to be filed against the Group, individually or collectively, any charges, complaints or
lawsuits, and Executive covenants and agrees that Executive will not file or permit to be filed any lawsuits at any time hereafter with
respect to the Claims released pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Claims relating to the termination of Executive’s
employment), except to challenge the validity of the release of Executive’s rights under the ADEA. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to prohibit Executive from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any
other government agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive agrees to waive his right to recover monetary damages in any charge,
complaint, or lawsuit filed by Executive or by anyone else on Executive’s behalf based on Claims released in this Agreement; provided,
however, that this Agreement does not limit Executive’s ability to obtain financial awards in connection with providing information
to government agencies. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, Executive will not voluntarily participate in any judicial proceeding
of any nature or description against any member of the Group that in any way involves the allegations and facts that Executive could
have raised against any member of the Group.
4. Executive
is specifically agreeing to the terms of this release because the Company has agreed to pay Executive money to which Executive was not
otherwise entitled and has provided such other good and valuable consideration as specified herein. The Company has agreed to provide
this money because of Executive’s agreement to accept it in full settlement of all possible claims Executive might have or ever
had against any of the Group, as of his execution of this Agreement (and re-execution, as applicable), and because of Executive’s
execution of this Agreement.
4
5. On
the Separation Date, or earlier upon Company request, Executive agrees to delete, destroy or return to the Company all Company property,
including without limitation, mailing lists, reports, files, memoranda, records, computer hardware and software, phones (excluding Executive’s
mobile phone), credit cards, door and file keys, computer passwords, and other property that Executive received or prepared or helped
prepare in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, and that Executive will not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions
or excerpts thereof. The Company agrees to work with Executive to return any of Executive’s personal data that is stored on Company
hardware.
6. Subject
to Section 8 below, this Agreement does not amend, modify, waive or affect in any way the Company’s rights or Executive’s
duties, obligations or restrictions under Sections 3 (including Exhibit A), 8, 9, 10, 11 (as modified by 12 and 13), 14, 15, and 22 of
the Employment Agreement (the “Continuing Obligations”). In further consideration of this Agreement, such sections
of the Employment Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and Executive reaffirms his continuing obligation to abide by the Continuing
Obligations.
7. Subject
to Section 8 below, Executive agrees that he will not encourage or cooperate or otherwise participate or confer with any current
or former employee of the Company or any other member of the Group, individually or collectively, or any potential plaintiff, to commence
any legal action or make any claim against the Company or any other member of the Group with respect to such person’s employment
with the Company or its affiliates. Executive will reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel in connection with any investigation,
administrative proceeding or litigation relating to any matter in which Executive was involved or of which Executive has knowledge as
a result of Executive’s employment with the Company. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for any reasonable costs incurred
by Executive related to such cooperation.
8. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or the Continuing Obligations shall prohibit Executive from making truthful statements
or disclosures (i) to the SEC, the EEOC, a state division of human rights, a local commission on human rights, any other government or
regulatory agency, law enforcement, an attorney retained by Executive, or a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) as required by subpoena
or other lawful process, (iii) as may be necessary for the prosecution of claims relating to the performance or enforcement of this Agreement,

have the purpose or effect of requiring Executive to conceal details relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation or harassment.
Notwithstanding any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Executive understands that Executive is not required to obtain authorization
from the Company prior to disclosing information to, or communicating with, a government agency, nor is Executive obligated to advise
the Company as to any such disclosures or communications. In making any such disclosures or communications, however, Executive agrees
to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential
information to any parties other than the relevant government agencies. Employee further understands that disclosures permitted by this
paragraph do not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without
the Company’s written consent shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

9. The
Company shall be entitled to have the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement specifically
enforced through injunctive relief, without having to prove the adequacy of the available remedies at law, and without being required
to post bond or security, it being acknowledged and agreed that such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In the event of any dispute concerning an alleged breach of this Agreement,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual damages, attorney’s fees, and costs from the non-prevailing party.
10. Executive
acknowledges that Executive has read this Agreement in its entirety, fully understands its meaning and is executing this Agreement voluntarily
and of Executive’s own free will with full knowledge of its significance. Executive acknowledges and warrants that he has had the
opportunity to consider for twenty-one (21) days the terms and provisions of this Agreement and that Executive has been advised by the
Company to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement. Executive agrees that any changes to the Agreement from the time
it was offered to Executive, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 21-day period. Executive may execute this
Agreement prior to the conclusion of the 21-day period, and if he elects to do so, Executive acknowledge that he has done so voluntarily.
11. Executive
shall have the right to revoke this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days following his execution of this Agreement, by giving written
notice of such revocation to the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee of the Board. This Agreement shall not become effective until
the eighth day following the Company’s receipt of Executive’s executed Agreement (the “Effective Date”).
If Executive does not execute this Agreement as set forth above, or if Executive revokes it in accordance with this paragraph, this Agreement
(including any obligations of the Company to provide the consideration referred to above) shall be deemed null and void.
12. In
order to be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2 above, Executive must re-execute this Agreement on or
within twenty-one (21) days after the Separation Date. Executive will have the opportunity to consider for 21 days following the Separation
Date whether to re-execute this Agreement and will have the right to revoke his re-execution for a period of seven (7) days following
his re-execution of this Agreement. If this Agreement is not re-executed in accordance with this paragraph, or Executive revokes his re-execution,
the Company shall have no further obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement. This in no way affects Executive’s prior
release of claims under this Agreement. By Executive’s re-execution of this Agreement, Executive’s acknowledgments and agreements
in Sections 1(f) and 3 shall be deemed to cover any claims that Executive has, may have had, or thereafter may have existing
or occurring at any time on or before the date that Executive re-executes this Agreement.
13. In
the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, such provisions will
be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
14. Nothing
herein shall be deemed to constitute an admission of wrongdoing by the Company or any other member of the Group. Neither this Agreement
nor any of its terms shall be used as an admission or introduced as evidence as to any issue of law or fact in any proceeding, suit or
action, other than an action to enforce this Agreement.

15. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument. Photographic and electronic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals of this Agreement

and waive any objection to the laying of jurisdiction and venue in such courts in the event of litigation under or relating to this Agreement.
The Parties further waive their rights to a jury trial and understand any dispute will be tried by a judge.

matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements relating thereto whether written or oral, with the exception

for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $544 thousand for the first quarter of 2025 and $(499) thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
Today, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized
a share repurchase program of up to $3 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock over the next 12 months. This authorization
reflects TransAct’s continued confidence in its strategic direction, strong balance sheet, and long-term growth opportunities, driven
by the BOHA!® platform’s recurring revenue model and strengthened by TransAct’s EPIC line of casino and gaming printing
solutions.
TransAct intends to execute repurchases opportunistically, considering
market conditions, share price, and alternative uses of capital. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire
any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
Chief Financial Officer Transition
On May 8, 2026, the Company announced the appointment of Robert Campbell
as Chief Financial Officer, effective upon the June 30, 2026, retirement of long-time Chief Financial Officer, Steven A. DeMartino.
Mr. Campbell has more than 25 years of financial leadership experience
across publicly traded and privately held global manufacturing organizations. He has served as the Company’s Controller since June
2022, playing a key role in strengthening financial operations, enhancing reporting and internal controls, and supporting TransAct’s
transition toward a recurring revenue model.
Mr. DeMartino, who serves as President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary
and Treasurer of the Company, will retire following almost 30 years of service to TransAct. Upon Mr. DeMartino’s retirement, Mr.
Campbell will take over as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and John Dillon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
will assume the title of President of the Company. Mr. DeMartino will remain in an advisory role through the end of the year to support
a seamless transition.
2026 Financial Outlook*
• Net Sales: The Company expects full year 2026 net
sales of between $55 million and $57 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company now expects full year
2026 adjusted EBITDA to be between $1 million and $1.75 million.
*Our outlook for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is presented only on a non-GAAP
basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating
to the occurrence or amount of the adjustments that may arise in the future. If one or more of the currently unavailable items is applicable,
some items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to GAAP reported results.
First Quarter 2026 Conference Call and Webcast
TransAct is hosting a conference call and webcast on May 12, 2026,
beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the Company’s preliminary first quarter 2026 results and other matters. Both the call and the
webcast are open to the general public. The conference call number is 877-704-4453 and the conference ID number is 13760514. Please call
ten minutes prior to the presentation to ensure that you are connected.
Interested parties may also access the conference call live on the
Internet at www.transact-tech.com (select “About Us” followed by “Investor Relations,” then select “News
& Events” followed by “Events & Presentations”). Approximately two hours after the call has concluded, an archived
version of the webcast will be available for replay at the same location.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TransAct is providing certain non-GAAP financial measures because the
Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors and others in assessing the ongoing nature of what the Company’s management
views as TransAct’s core operations. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of one aspect of earnings
before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
relevant and useful information to an investor evaluating the Company’s operating performance because these measures are: (i) widely
used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing
operations and are excluded from the calculation of such measures; (ii) used as financial measurements by lenders and other parties to
evaluate creditworthiness; and (iii) used by the Company’s management for various purposes including strategic planning and forecasting
and assessing financial performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP information is not considered superior to or a substitute for,
and should be read in conjunction with, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest income (expense),
income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can
be found attached to this release.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest
income (expense), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for (1) share-based compensation expense and (2) any other
items, when they occur, that we believe do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s ongoing business. The Company adjusts
EBITDA for share-based compensation because the Company considers share-based compensation expense to be a non-cash expense similar to
depreciation and amortization. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found
attached to this release.

the June 30, 2026 retirement of long-time Chief Financial Officer, Steven A. DeMartino.

Mr. Campbell has more than 25 years of financial leadership experience
across publicly traded and privately held global manufacturing organizations. He has served as the Company’s Controller since June

transition toward a recurring revenue model. Prior to joining TransAct, Mr. Campbell held senior finance leadership roles at Lydall, Inc.,
including Director of Global Treasury and Director of Corporate Accounting, where he was responsible for global treasury operations, SEC

public accounting and holds a B.S. in Accounting from Central Connecticut State University.
“As we continue to expand ARR and build a more predictable, higher-margin

Officer of TransAct Technologies. “Bob’s promotion comes at an important time, as we continue to scale our
BOHA! cloud-based SaaS platform and strengthen our recurring revenue model.”
Mr. Dillon added, “Bob’s deep knowledge of our business

to stockholder value creation.”

entirety of its public company life since its IPO in 1996," said Steven DeMartino. "I want to thank TransAct’s employees,
Board of Directors, and stockholders for trusting and supporting me throughout my nearly 30-year career at TransAct. I am proud of what
we have accomplished to date and, as a stockholder, am supportive of the Company’s strategic direction. Long term, I believe TransAct
has a large and growing opportunity in front of it.”
Mr. DeMartino continued, “Over the past 30 years, I have helped
build a strong financial foundation and leave TransAct well positioned for continued success with a strong balance sheet and financial
processes in place. I look forward to following TransAct’s progress in my next chapter."
Mr. Dillon stated, “On behalf of the Board and the entire TransAct team,
I want to thank Steve for his leadership and lasting contributions over the past three decades. His stewardship has been
instrumental in building and sustaining a strong financial foundation and guiding TransAct through multiple phases
of growth and transformation.”

Exhibit 99.3
TransAct Technologies Announces
Share Repurchase Program
Board-Authorized $3 Million Program Approved for One Year
HAMDEN, CT – May 12, 2026 – TransAct Technologies
Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cloud-based software
and integrated hardware solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3 million
of the Company’s outstanding common stock over the next 12 months.
This authorization reflects TransAct’s continued
confidence in its strategic direction, strong balance sheet, and long-term growth opportunities, driven by the BOHA!® platform’s
recurring revenue model and strengthened by TransAct’s EPIC line of casino and gaming printing solutions.
“We believe our current share price
does not fully reflect the strength or value of our business, particularly the long-term growth and recurring revenue potential of our
BOHA! solutions,” said John Dillon, Chief Executive Officer of TransAct. “As we continue to scale BOHA!, we
are building a more predictable, higher-margin revenue stream driven by ARR, which we believe will create meaningful long-term stockholder
value. This share repurchase program underscores our commitment to disciplined capital allocation—balancing investment in growth,
customer acquisition, and platform expansion with returning capital to stockholders.”
TransAct intends to execute repurchases
opportunistically, considering market conditions, share price, and alternative uses of capital. Repurchases may be made from time to time
in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Mr. Dillon added, “With improving visibility
into recurring revenue streams from BOHA! and continued operational efficiencies, we are well positioned to generate sustainable cash
flow and deploy capital in a way that maximizes long-term stockholder returns.”
The share repurchase program does not obligate the
Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
