Eventbrite Surges On $500 Million Buyout By Bending Spoons - Eventbrite (NYSE:EB)
Eventbrite stockholders will receive $4.50 per share, an 82% premium, as the company goes private in a $500 million cash deal approved by its board.
- On December 2, 2025, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Eventbrite, Inc. for roughly $500 million, offering Eventbrite stockholders $4.50 in cash per share.
- Following a stretch of flat revenue, Eventbrite's audited annual revenue of about $295 million reflects stagnation, while Bending Spoons aims to acquire long-term value.
- The deal values Eventbrite at roughly 1.7 times trailing twelve months revenue of $295 million, while shares jumped 78.63% to $4.43 and reached a new 52-week high on Tuesday, per Benzinga Pro market data.
- Eventbrite's board unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, and Eventbrite will become privately held.
- The deal value of $500 million highlights a sharp valuation gap with Eventbrite's $1.76 billion 2018 IPO, despite Bending Spoons' $270 million funding and $11 billion valuation.
