Eventbrite, Inc. completed its merger with Bending Spoons Inc., making Eventbrite a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons S.p.A. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Eventbrite Class A and Class B common stock outstanding (with limited exceptions) was converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.
In connection with closing, Eventbrite repaid all obligations under and terminated its August 6, 2025 credit agreement. The company asked the New York Stock Exchange to suspend trading of its Class A common stock, withdraw it from listing, and file Form 25 to remove it from Section 12(b) registration. Eventbrite also intends to file Form 15 to end Class A registration under Section 12(g) and suspend periodic reporting duties.
Holders of common stock immediately before closing ceased to have stockholder rights other than receiving the cash merger consideration. A change of control occurred, the prior board members resigned, and directors and officers of the merger subsidiary assumed board and key officer roles. Eventbrite’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated as of the effective time.
Eventbrite, Inc. stockholders approved the planned merger with Bending Spoons at a special meeting, voting in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and the related executive compensation on the terms described in the proxy statement.
Holders of Class A and Class B common stock representing about 88.7% of the voting power were present, and the Merger Proposal received 212,405,179 votes for versus 1,169,058 against and 368,438 abstentions. An adjournment proposal was rendered moot because approval levels were sufficient.
The merger still depends on customary closing conditions, including antitrust clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, absence of legal blocks, and accuracy of representations and covenants. A Delaware class action challenging voting power and disclosures has been rendered moot and will be dismissed after the Merger Proposal passed under both sides’ interpretations of the charter.
Eventbrite, Inc. provides an update on its pending acquisition by Bending Spoons and related stockholder litigation. A Delaware Court of Chancery lawsuit alleges that a Voting and Support Agreement triggered a "Transfer" of certain Class B shares into Class A and challenges disclosures in the preliminary proxy statement. Eventbrite disagrees with these claims but asks stockholders to vote as if the Supporting Stockholders’ Class B shares had converted, which would give them about 7.65% of voting power as of the record date under plaintiffs’ interpretation. Eventbrite also outlines an agreement with plaintiffs that the merger will not close if approval is insufficient under plaintiffs’ voting view until the court rules, and voluntarily supplements its proxy with added background on the sale process, board committees, confidentiality and standstill terms, and competing indications of interest.
Eventbrite, Inc. reports that its Compensation Committee has adjusted executive pay timing in connection with the pending merger with Bending Spoons US Inc. The committee approved accelerating into December 2025 the vesting and payment of certain performance- and time-based restricted stock units, as well as the annual cash bonus for 2025, for four senior executives, using an assumed bonus payout of 26.25% of target. These changes are intended to address potential “excess parachute payment” issues under Section 280G of the tax code and related excise taxes under Section 4999, while preserving corporate tax deductions.
Each executive signed a Section 280G Mitigation Acknowledgement, under which they must repay the after-tax portion of the accelerated payments if they leave before the date the awards and bonuses would originally have vested and such amounts would otherwise have been forfeited. This repayment obligation ends once the merger is completed.
Eventbrite, Inc. entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger under which Bending Spoons US Inc. will acquire Eventbrite in an all-cash transaction. At closing, each outstanding share of Eventbrite Class A and Class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash per share, subject to customary exceptions and tax withholding. Outstanding stock options, time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs will be cancelled and converted into cash based on the same per-share merger price, with underwater options valued using a Black‑Scholes model. The deal is subject to approval by a majority of Eventbrite’s voting power, clearance under the Hart‑Scott‑Rodino Act and other customary closing conditions, with an outside date of June 1, 2026. Certain major stockholders, including Julia and Kevin Hartz and related entities, have signed a voting and support agreement to vote their shares in favor of the merger. If specified competing-deal or failure scenarios occur, Eventbrite may owe Parent a termination fee of $14,400,000.
