Board of Directors has approved a plan to purchase and retire up to 300,100 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current shares outstanding. The Company anticipates that the purchases will be made during the next 12 months unless
the entire number of shares expected to be purchased under the plan is sooner acquired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;This repurchase plan highlights our continuing confidence in
Optical Cable&#146;s prospects for long-term growth, and underscores our commitment to enhancing shareholder value. By reducing the number of outstanding shares we can leverage higher returns for our shareholders as long-term financial results
improve as anticipated. Additionally, this repurchase plan may help to lessen some of the short-term share price volatility we tend to experience, allowing our shareholders to focus on the longer term,&#148; stated Mr.&nbsp;Neil Wilkin, President
and CEO of Optical Cable Corporation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Optical Cable&#146;s strong, bank debt-free balance sheet provides us the ability to institute this repurchase
plan without impeding currently planned capital expenditures and strategic initiatives,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Wilkin stated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company will purchase shares
from time to time. It is anticipated that many of the purchases will be made in the open market. The Company will execute purchases only during periods where the executive team and the Board of Directors are not aware of material inside information
that would likely affect a seller&#146;s decision to sell. The share repurchase plan is designed to comply with U.S. securities laws, rules and safe harbors for purchases that do not constitute tender offers&#151;including maximum number of shares
expected to be purchased, the length of time during which the purchases will occur, pricing restrictions (including not paying a premium to market trading price for shares purchased), daily purchase volume restrictions, and other restrictions.
