ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On May 12, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of  Leatt Corporation (the "Company") authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for shares of the Company's common stock valued at $419,410. 

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company intends to repurchase shares through open market purchases in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), through December 31, 2026, when the stock repurchase program expires.

The Board also authorized the Company to enter into written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.  Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, the Company's third-party broker, subject to regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")  regarding certain price, market, volume and timing constraints, would have authority to purchase the Company's common stock in accordance with the terms of the plan.  The Company may from time to time enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program.

 

The Company cannot predict the specific timing or amount of shares of common stock that it will repurchase, as the program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.  Information regarding repurchases under the program will be available in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Commission, as required by applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

 

This report contains forward-looking information, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, including information regarding purchases by the Company of its common stock pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. By their nature, forward-looking information and statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, including changes in price and volume and the volatility of the Company's common stock; adverse developments affecting either or both of prices and trading of securities; and unexpected or otherwise unplanned or alternative requirements with respect to the capital investments of the Company. The Company does not undertake to update any forward looking statements or information, including those contained in this report.

A copy of the press release, which the Company is furnishing to the Commission is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
