Bending Spoons to Purchase Vimeo for $7.85 per Share in Cash

Vimeo entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.38B. Under the terms of the agreement, Vimeo shareholders will receive $7.85 per share in cash for each share of Vimeo capital stock that they own. The per-share purchase price represents a 91% premium over Vimeo's 60-day volume-weighted average share price as of market close on September 9, 2025. "After a disciplined review of strategic alternatives, the Board unanimously determined that this all-cash transaction delivers compelling, certain value to Vimeo shareholders and positions the company to accelerate its strategic roadmap as part of Bending Spoons," said Glenn H. Schiffman, Chairman of the Board. "We're confident they are the right long-term partner for our customers, employees, and brand." The transaction, which was unanimously approved by Vimeo's Board of Directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including approval by Vimeo's stockholders, and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Upon the completion of the transaction, Vimeo will become a privately held company and its capital stock will no longer be listed on any public stock exchange.
