NEW YORK, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — StepStone Group Inc. (Nasdaq: STEP) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $100 million of the company\u2019s Class A common stock.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur capital\u2011efficient business model generates significant free cash flow, which underpins our consistent and growing quarterly dividend\u201d said Mike McCabe, Head of Strategy of StepStone Group. \u201cIn addition to our normal quarterly dividend, we intend to balance paying a recurring annual supplemental dividend with retaining flexibility to adjust that supplemental payout as we evaluate the most compelling uses of capital. The authorization of a share repurchase program adds another attractive and opportunistic lever to our capital\u2011allocation framework.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the repurchase program, StepStone may repurchase shares of its Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the \u201cExchange Act\u201d), in accordance with applicable securities laws, stock exchange requirements and other restrictions. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the discretion of the company’s management based on business, economic and market conditions, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives and prevailing stock prices, as well as applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The stock repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of stock. There can be no assurances how many shares of common stock the company will repurchase, if any, or at what prices any purchases will be made.<\/p>\n
