NEW YORK, Dec. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DDC Enterprise Ltd, (NYSEAM: DDC) (“DayDayCook” or the “Company”), a leading content-driven food consumer brand, today announces that its Board of Directors approved a 10b-18 share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to 500,000 of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares. This plan is effective immediately for up to a one-year period.

“Following our initial public offering, we remain dedicated to prudent allocation of capital focused on long-term growth opportunities. We believe this share repurchase reflects the Board’s and Management’s confidence in our business, as well as the value we place on shareholder equity,” said DayDayCook CEO Norma Chu.
