Insights
Director reports full cash-out of Vimeo equity at $7.85 per share in closing merger.
This Form 4 shows how a Vimeo director’s equity was treated when Bending Spoons US acquired the company. At the effective time on November 24, 2025, a Bending Spoons subsidiary merged into Vimeo, and Vimeo became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bending Spoons US. Each share of Vimeo common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive $7.85 in cash.
The filing explains that both common shares and restricted stock units (RSUs) held by the director were cashed out. Each RSU was converted into cash equal to the number of underlying shares multiplied by the same $7.85 merger consideration, removing ongoing equity exposure. Shares held indirectly through a family foundation were also disposed of, and beneficial ownership after the transaction is reported as zero.
For investors reviewing historical ownership and deal mechanics, this illustrates the standard all-cash treatment for both vested and unvested RSUs in this transaction, as well as the uniform per-share price applied across direct and certain indirect holdings at closing.
