Exhibit 99.1
Aclarion Announces
$2.5 Million Stock Repurchase Plan
Highlights Disciplined
Capital Allocation While Supporting Continued Nociscan® Adoption
Broomfield, CO, April 22, 2026 – Aclarion,
Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a commercial-stage healthcare
technology company leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms through its Nociscan platform to help
physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain and support improved treatment success rates, today announced that its Board
of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $2.5 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Aclarion expects to execute the repurchase program over the next 12
months. The timing, volume, and nature of repurchases will be determined by the Company based on factors including market conditions,
share price, liquidity, and operational and strategic priorities. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number
of shares, and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
The Company intends to fund the repurchase program using existing cash
and cash equivalents.
“This authorization underscores our commitment to disciplined
capital allocation and our belief that Aclarion’s current valuation does not fully reflect the strength of our platform and long-term
growth opportunity,” said Brent Ness, Chief Executive Officer of Aclarion. “We believe our shares represent a compelling value
at current levels, and we view this program as a flexible and opportunistic tool to enhance shareholder value while continuing to invest
in the clinical adoption and expansion of Nociscan.”
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $19.0 million, which management believes provides sufficient runway to support operations through key upcoming milestones,
including the initial milestone of the CLARITY randomized trial.
Greg Gould, Chief Financial Officer of Aclarion, added, “We are
focused on balancing investment in growth with prudent capital management. Given our current capital position and expected operating needs,
we believe a share repurchase program is an efficient and disciplined way to deploy capital while maintaining the financial flexibility
necessary to execute on our strategic priorities.”
Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, in amounts,
at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations, in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws, including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Repurchases may be executed through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades,
accelerated share repurchase transactions, or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which may permit the Company to repurchase shares
during periods when it would otherwise be restricted from doing so.

clarity to optimize treatment strategies. For more information, please visit www.aclarion.com.
