GlobalSCAPE Announces $3,000,000 Stock Buyback

GlobalSCAPE (OTCBB:GSCP) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3 million of the company's outstanding common shares. The repurchase plan is designed to increase shareholders' value and reduce the dilutive effect of GlobalSCAPE's stock option plans.

"The Board's approval of the share repurchase plan reflects its confidence in the continued growth of GlobalSCAPE and an ongoing commitment to our shareholders," said Randy Poole, President and CEO of GlobalSCAPE. "We continue to generate substantial cash from operations, maintain a strong balance sheet, and remain basically debt free. We feel the repurchase of GlobalSCAPE stock represents the right decision for our Company and its shareholders and that this program will allow us to continue to pursue strategic opportunities for growth."

The stock repurchase authorization has an expiration date of May 22, 2008 with the repurchase activity tied to such factors as cash generation from operations, current stock price, and other factors. GlobalSCAPE may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market or in private transactions, including structured transactions. This program may be modified or discontinued at any time.
