Eventbrite SEC Filings

Hartz Julia reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Eventbrite, Inc. CEO Julia Hartz reported an equity award of 360,444 shares of Class A common stock on March 2, 2026, recorded at a price of $0.00 per share as a grant or award. Footnotes explain these are RSUs vesting in sixteen equal quarterly installments from March 2, 2026 through March 2, 2030, conditioned on continued service.

After the award, Hartz directly holds 2,163,600 shares. She is also reported as having indirect beneficial ownership of 2,456 shares held by the Hartz Family Revocable Trust and 74,341 shares held by her spouse, Eventbrite’s board chairman Kevin Hartz.

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 is asking stockholders to approve a cash merger in which each share will be converted into $4.50 in cash. This applies to both Class A and Class B common stock, other than dissenting and certain excluded shares. The price represents premiums of about 81% to the November 28, 2025 Class A closing price of $2.49, 77% to the 30‑day volume‑weighted average price of $2.54, 9% over the 52‑week high of $4.12, and 149% over the 52‑week low of $1.81.

Merger Sub, a subsidiary of Bending Spoons US Inc., will merge into Eventbrite, leaving Eventbrite as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons. The board, advised by a special committee, outside counsel and Allen & Company LLC (which delivered a fairness opinion), unanimously determined the terms are fair and in stockholders’ best interests and recommends voting “FOR” the merger, the advisory vote on merger‑related executive compensation and a potential adjournment.

The merger requires approval by a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares as of the January 16, 2026 record date. Supporting stockholders, including Julia and Kevin Hartz and related trusts, have entered a voting and support agreement covering shares representing about 41.5% of the voting power under Eventbrite’s interpretation of its charter. A Delaware class action challenges whether that agreement triggered a conversion of their Class B shares; if the merger vote would fail under the plaintiffs’ interpretation but pass under the company’s, closing will be delayed until the court rules. Stockholders who do not vote in favor may seek appraisal in Delaware court. The merger is not subject to a financing condition; Bending Spoons has represented it will use available cash and existing credit facilities to fund the consideration and related costs.

Eventbrite, Inc. director Riley Helen reported an equity compensation grant of Class A common stock. On 01/15/2026, she acquired 3,363 shares at a price of $0.0 per share under Eventbrite’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, which provides stock in lieu of cash board and committee retainer fees. Following this grant, she beneficially owns 241,265 shares of Class A common stock, held directly.

Eventbrite, Inc. director Sean P. Moriarty received 4,063 shares of Class A common stock on 01/15/2026. The shares were issued at a price of $0.0 per share under Eventbrite’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, in lieu of cash payments for board and committee retainer fees. After this grant, Moriarty beneficially owned 253,827 shares of Eventbrite Class A common stock in direct ownership.

Eventbrite, Inc. director Pilar Manchon received 2,522 shares of Class A common stock as compensation. The shares were issued on January 15, 2026 under Eventbrite’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, in lieu of cash board and committee retainer fees, at a reported price of $0.00 per share.

After this grant, Manchon beneficially owns 163,637 shares of Eventbrite Class A common stock, held directly. This filing reflects routine equity-based director compensation rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Eventbrite director Jane Lauder reported a stock-based board fee payment. On January 15, 2026, she acquired 2,522 shares of Eventbrite Class A common stock at $0.00 per share. These shares were issued under Eventbrite’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy in lieu of cash payments for board and committee retainer fees. After this grant, Lauder beneficially owned 227,187 shares of Class A common stock, held directly in her name.

Eventbrite is asking stockholders to approve a merger in which Bending Spoons US Inc. will acquire Eventbrite, with Everest Merger Sub merging into Eventbrite, which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons.

If completed, each share of Eventbrite Class A and Class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash per share, without interest, a price that the company notes is about 81% above the $2.49 Class A closing price on November 28, 2025 and 9% above the 52‑week high of $4.12.

The special meeting will also include a non-binding advisory vote on merger-related executive compensation and a proposal to adjourn the meeting if more time is needed to solicit proxies. Eventbrite’s board, after receiving a fairness opinion from Allen & Company LLC, unanimously recommends voting “FOR” all proposals. Certain major stockholders, including Julia and Kevin Hartz and related entities, have already agreed to vote shares representing about 50.9% of the voting power in favor of the merger.

The merger is not subject to a financing condition; Bending Spoons expects to use available cash and existing credit facilities. Stockholders who properly follow Delaware law procedures may instead seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares. If the merger is not completed, Eventbrite will remain a public company and its Class A stock will continue trading on the NYSE.
