### Exhibit 99.1

Ocean Power Technologies Acquires Strategic Subsea Technology to Expand Operational Infrastructure Supporting Maritime Dominance

**Transaction Extends Company’s Operational
Infrastructure Offering to the Subsea Market**

**MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., July 23, 2026
– Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: OPTT)**, today announced
the acquisition of strategic subsea developmental technology assets from Columbia Power Technologies, Inc., expanding the potential of
the Company’s operational infrastructure portfolio to extend its capabilities from the ocean surface to the seabed.

The acquisition strengthens OPT’s position as a provider of persistent
operational infrastructure supporting autonomous maritime operations.

The acquired intellectual property and engineering portfolio complements
the Company’s existing capabilities in offshore power, autonomous surface vehicles, maritime sensing, communications and AI-enabled software
while adding an innovative subsea power capability designed to enable persistent underwater operations. Together, these technologies create
a potentially more comprehensive operational infrastructure platform capable of supporting missions across the maritime domain.

“The future of maritime operations will depend on resilient, persistent
operational infrastructure that supports autonomous systems above and below the surface,” said Philipp Stratmann, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Ocean Power Technologies. “This acquisition expands our technology portfolio with an innovative subsea capability
that complements our existing solutions and reinforces our strategy to deliver operational infrastructure across the maritime domain for
defense, security and commercial customers.”

The acquisition potentially expands OPT’s ability to address evolving
requirements for persistent underwater operations, including resident autonomous systems, subsea sensing, distributed communications,
underwater vehicle support and long-duration maritime missions. The acquired capability positions OPT to enhance its portfolio of operational
infrastructure technologies and provides a foundation for supporting future customer requirements in both defense and commercial maritime
markets.

The transaction has been structured as an asset acquisition, securing
ownership of strategic intellectual property and technical capabilities while preserving financial flexibility.

In addition to expanding OPT’s technology portfolio, the acquisition
includes developmental work and early customer engagement that can accelerate commercialization, reduce development risk and shorten the
Company’s path to market for future subsea solutions.

The transaction closed effective, July 22, 2026.
