NEW YORK, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clear Secure, Inc. (NYSE:YOU) ("CLEAR" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a $100 million increase to its existing Class A Common Stock share repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company used $84.9 million to repurchase and retire 4.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock at an average price of $19.22. Including the $100 million increase announced today, approximately $141 million in aggregate remains available under the repurchase authorization.

The timing and actual number of shares repurchased pursuant the Company's repurchase program will be determined by management depending on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations.
