NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK) (“TaskUs” or the “Company”), a leading provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to the world’s most innovative companies, today announced that at a special meeting of TaskUs stockholders, the Company did not receive the votes necessary to approve the transaction agreement with an affiliate of Blackstone, TaskUs Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Bryce Maddock, and TaskUs Co-Founder and President Jaspar Weir (collectively the “Buyer Group”).

TaskUs does not plan to convene another special meeting of stockholders and expects to terminate the proposed transaction. As a result, TaskUs will remain a publicly traded company, and the Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol TASK.

Maddock said, “We have appreciated the feedback received from our stockholders since our transaction announcement. We share their confidence in TaskUs and remain committed to transforming our business for the AI era.”

The final voting results from the special meeting will be reported in a Form 8-K filed by TaskUs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither party will be required to pay the other a termination fee as a result of the planned mutual decision to terminate the agreement.
