On May 28, 2026, Strattec Security Corporation (the "Company") announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $40.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. This share repurchase program replaces the Company's previous share repurchase program, which had been initiated in 1996 and was terminated in connection with the authorization of the new program.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, and general business and market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its common stock.

A copy of the press release announcing the share repurchase program is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

**NEWS<br>RELEASE**

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**Strattec Announces New $40 million Share Repurchase Program**

**MILWAUKEE, WI**, May 28, 2026 — Strattec (the "Company") (Nasdaq: STRT), a global provider of highly engineered access solutions for the automotive and mobility industries, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $40 million of its outstanding common stock.

Jennifer Slater, President and CEO of Strattec, stated, "Our strong cash position allows us to continue investing in our transformation and growth strategy while also returning capital to shareholders through this new repurchase authorization. We are confident in our ability to generate strong cash flow to support these priorities while maintaining the financial flexibility needed to navigate the highly cyclical automotive industry in which we operate."

Under the authorization, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions and privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company's discretion based on market conditions, corporate considerations and other factors. Open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company may also enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans under the Exchange Act to facilitate repurchases under the program.

The repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date, does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific amount of common stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Company's previous share repurchase program, which was initiated in 1996, has been terminated in connection with the authorization of the new program. During the fourth fiscal quarter and prior to termination, the Company purchased 110,269 shares at an average price of $67.10 per share.
