Eventbrite, Inc. has agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons U.S., Inc. under a merger agreement where, at the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Eventbrite capital stock will be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash per share, without interest. A wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons, Everest Merger Sub Inc., will merge with and into Eventbrite, which will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons.
Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 1 updates the beneficial ownership and intentions of co-founders Kevin Hartz and Julia Hartz. Kevin Hartz reports beneficial ownership of 8,686,498 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, representing 9.5% of the class on an as-converted basis. Julia Hartz reports beneficial ownership of 15,590,687 shares, representing 16.0% of the class on an as-converted basis.
Concurrently with the merger agreement, the Hartzes and other stockholders entered into a Voting and Support Agreement committing their shares to vote for the merger and against competing acquisition or restructuring proposals and waiving appraisal rights on those shares.

Insights
Eventbrite agrees to a $4.50‑per‑share cash buyout backed by founder voting commitments.
The filing describes a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger under which Everest Merger Sub Inc., a subsidiary of Bending Spoons U.S., Inc., will merge into Eventbrite. At the effective time, each issued and outstanding share of Eventbrite capital stock is to be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash, with Eventbrite becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons. This structure is a standard all‑cash going‑private transaction.
The amendment also details substantial insider ownership. Kevin Hartz reports beneficial ownership of 8,686,498 shares, or 9.5% of the class on an as‑converted basis, while Julia Hartz reports 15,590,687 shares, or 16.0%, including options exercisable within 60 days of December 1, 2025. Both Class A and Class B shares are treated as convertible into Class A for these calculations.
Through a Stockholder Voting and Support Agreement dated December 1, 2025, the Hartzes and other supporting stockholders agree to vote their shares for approval of the merger and the related transactions and against competing proposals, and to waive appraisal and similar rights on their voting shares. This alignment of major insider voting power with the transaction increases the likelihood that stockholder approvals described in the agreement can be obtained, with remaining steps governed by the merger agreement’s conditions and closing mechanics.

Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 1") is being filed by Kevin Hartz and Julia Hartz (each a "Reporting Person" and, collectively, the "Reporting Persons") and amends and supplements the statement on the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May 21, 2020 (the "Schedule 13D") related to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock" and together with Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), the "Common Stock"), of Eventbrite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at 95 Third Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, California, 94103. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Merger Agreement
On December 1, 2025, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Issuer, Bending Spoons U.S., Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Everest Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub").
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the "Merger" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, collectively the "Transactions"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Surviving Corporation"), (b) each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of the Issuer as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") will, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), (c) each share of capital stock of the Issuer held in the treasury of the Issuer and any shares of capital stock of the Issuer owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor and (d) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into and become one fully paid, nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by the stockholders or other security holders of the Issuer.
Voting and Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons and certain stockholders of the Issuer (collectively, the "Supporting Stockholders") entered into a certain Stockholder Voting and Support Agreement (the "Voting and Support Agreement") with Parent, pursuant to which each of the Supporting Stockholders agreed that, until the earliest of the Effective Time, the termination of the Merger Agreement and a Company Board Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (a) it will not transfer any voting securities of the Issuer owned of record or beneficially by it as of the date of the Merger Agreement or subsequently acquired by it during certain period as provided in the Voting and Support Agreement (the "Voting Shares") subject to certain exceptions, and (b) it will vote all of its Voting Shares (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) against the approval or adoption of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Transactions, and (iii) against any of the following: (A) any acquisition proposal or merger, consolidation, or business combination involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries other than the Transactions; (B) any sale, lease, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (C) any recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; or (D) any other action or series of actions that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to (x) result in a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Voting and Support Agreement, (y) result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof or (z) otherwise prevent, materially delay, impair or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Supporting Stockholders also agreed to waive all appraisal rights, dissenter's rights, or any similar rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any of Voting Shares in connection with the Transactions.
As a result of the execution and delivery of the Voting and Support Agreement by the parties thereto, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with Parent. The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons as reported in this filing does not include any shares of capital stock of the Issuer which may be beneficially owned by Parent or solely beneficially owned by the other Reporting Person and each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership over any such shares. This filing should not be deemed an admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act with Parent or the other Reporting Person or has beneficial ownership of any equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Parent or solely beneficially owned by the other Reporting Person.
The foregoing summary of the Voting and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting and Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)
Item 5 (a) - (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
(a) - (b) As a result of the execution and delivery of the Voting and Support Agreement by the parties thereto, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") with Parent. Based on information provided by Parent to the Reporting Persons, Parent does not beneficially own any shares of the Issuer's capital stock as of the date hereof. The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons does not include any shares of Class A Common Stock which may be beneficially owned by Parent or solely beneficially owned by the other Reporting Person and each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership over any such shares.
(c)
Except as set forth in Item 4, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer in the past sixty (60) days other than (i) the withholding by the Issuer of 59,879 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Ms. Hartz to satisfy certain tax liabilities associated with the net settlement of restricted stock units on October 15, 2025, (ii) the conversion of RSUs held by Ms. Hartz into 13,724 shares of Class A Common Stock on November 1, 2025 and (iii) the withholding by the Issuer of 3,485 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Ms. Hartz to satisfy certain tax liabilities associated with the net settlement of restricted stock units on November 1, 2025.
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information disclosed under Item 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as disclosed herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
Item 7.
Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Exhibit No. Description
3 Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2025, by and among Eventbrite, Inc., Bending Spoons U.S., Inc. and Everest Merger Sub Inc.
4 Stockholder Voting and Support Agreement, dated December 1, 2025, by and among Bending Spoons U.S., Inc. and each of the stockholders set forth therein.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
What transaction involving Eventbrite (EB) is described in this Schedule 13D/A amendment?
The amendment describes an Agreement and Plan of Merger under which Everest Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons U.S., Inc., will merge with and into Eventbrite, Inc., with Eventbrite surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons.
What will Eventbrite (EB) shareholders receive in the proposed merger?
At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Eventbrite capital stock will be converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash per share, without interest, as the merger consideration.
How many Eventbrite (EB) shares does Kevin Hartz beneficially own according to this filing?
Kevin Hartz reports beneficial ownership of 8,686,498 shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock (including options exercisable within 60 days of December 1, 2025), representing 9.5% of the class on an as‑converted basis.
How many Eventbrite (EB) shares does Julia Hartz beneficially own according to this filing?
Julia Hartz reports beneficial ownership of 15,590,687 shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock (including options exercisable within 60 days of December 1, 2025), representing 16.0% of the class on an as‑converted basis.
What is the Voting and Support Agreement mentioned for Eventbrite (EB)?
On December 1, 2025, the Reporting Persons and certain other stockholders entered into a Stockholder Voting and Support Agreement with Bending Spoons U.S., Inc., under which they agree to vote their shares in favor of approving and adopting the merger agreement and related transactions and against competing proposals, and they waive appraisal and similar rights for their voting shares.
How do Eventbrite’s dual‑class shares affect this ownership disclosure?
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, and for the percentage ownership reported in rows 11 and 13, the filing treats the Class B shares beneficially owned by the reporting persons as converted into Class A. Voting power differs because each Class B share carries ten votes, while each Class A share carries one vote.
Did the reporting persons recently transact in Eventbrite (EB) stock before this amendment?
Yes. The filing states that, aside from the merger‑related arrangements, recent activity involved withholding of Class A shares held by Julia Hartz to satisfy tax liabilities on restricted stock unit settlements and the conversion of RSUs into 13,724 Class A shares on November 1, 2025.
