The company’s stock previously traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol STMP.
Business focus and software brands
Stamps.com stated that it offered software solutions designed to help businesses run their shipping operations more smoothly and function more successfully. Its family of brands included Stamps.com, Endicia, ShipStation, ShipEngine, ShippingEasy, ShipWorks, GlobalPost and Metapack. Across these brands, the company emphasized access to mailing and shipping services and integrations with more than 500 unique partner applications, as described in its public communications.
Within that group, Endicia was described as a brand for high-volume shipping technologies and services for U.S. Postal Service shipping.

These brand descriptions illustrate how Stamps.com positioned itself around software tools for e-commerce shipping workflows.
Role in e-commerce shipping
In its own press materials, Stamps.com highlighted its role in e-commerce by referring to itself as a leading global multi-carrier e-commerce shipping software company and as an early innovator that introduced online postage. The company’s brands were presented as providing seamless access to mailing and shipping services, with technology that connects to many partner applications so that merchants can manage orders and shipping from various online channels in one place.
Subsidiary Metapack, described as a wholly owned subsidiary of Stamps.com in a 2021 release, focuses on ecommerce delivery technology. Metapack’s SaaS solution is described as offering personalized delivery services, global order tracking and simplified returns, using a catalogue of hundreds of carriers and thousands of delivery services that span many countries.

Acquisition by Thoma Bravo and trading status
In July 2021, Stamps.com announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, a software investment firm, in an all-cash transaction valuing Stamps.com at approximately $6.6 billion. A subsequent press release dated September 30, 2021 reported that Stamps.com stockholders approved the merger agreement at a special meeting of stockholders.
On October 5, 2021, Thoma Bravo and Stamps.com announced the completion of Thoma Bravo’s acquisition of Stamps.com. That announcement stated that, at completion of the acquisition, Stamps.com stockholders were entitled to receive cash consideration for each share of common stock, and that Stamps.com common stock had ceased trading on, and would be de-listed from, the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Following the closing of the transaction, Stamps.com became a private company and a wholly owned entity affiliated with Thoma Bravo.
Position within the Auctane and Metapack ecosystem
Metapack materials describe Metapack as a member of the Auctane family of companies and as a provider of ecommerce delivery technology that connects retailers to a large carrier network. Earlier communications identified Metapack as a wholly owned subsidiary of Stamps.com, and described how Metapack’s Delivery Manager platform enables access to hundreds of carriers and thousands of delivery services from a single integration. This illustrates how, prior to the acquisition by Thoma Bravo, Stamps.com’s ecosystem extended into specialized ecommerce delivery and logistics software through its subsidiaries and brands.
Historical context for STMP stock
For investors researching the historical STMP ticker, it is important to note that public disclosures state the company was acquired by Thoma Bravo in an all-cash transaction and that its common stock was de-listed from NASDAQ following the closing in October 2021. As a result, STMP functions as a historical symbol associated with Stamps.com’s time as a publicly traded company, rather than an actively traded stock on a major U.S. exchange.
