Holders representing more than a majority of voting power, including Blackstone holdcos and Wolfe Herd, executed a written stockholders consent approving the merger. The filing also notes that forward hedging transactions terminated on October 13, 2026 at a settlement price of $3.5923 per share, with 2,763,510 pledged shares delivered to the dealer, and that 15,901,210 shares remain pledged against approximately $9.39 million in outstanding margin loans. The consent structure makes stockholder approval effectively a formality, leaving regulatory conditions as the key gating items for closing.

BMBL: 8-K · acquisition merger

On October 12, 2026, Bumble Inc. entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by Ithaca Holdco, Inc., with each Class A share converted into $6.05 in cash and Bumble surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ithaca. The deal was approved by the board on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors, with fairness opinions from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd, via Beehive Holdings III, LP, will roll over Class A shares into equity of the post-closing structure, and Blackstone entities are Principal Stockholders whose written consent has already provided the required stockholder approval. Greenoaks Prime Radiant LP committed equity financing, and no financing condition exists. Either party may terminate if the merger is not consummated by July 12, 2027; the Company would owe a $29 million termination fee in specified circumstances, while Ithaca would owe a $102 million parent termination fee, to be escrowed by October 19, 2026. Outstanding options are cancelled for no consideration and unvested RSUs convert into cash-based replacement awards with double-trigger protections.
