Vimeo To Be Acquired By Bending Spoons For $1.38B

Vimeo Inc. (VMEO) announced on Wednesday that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons in an all-cash transaction, valuing the company at approximately $1.38 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, Vimeo’s shareholders will receive $7.85 per share in cash, and the per-share purchase price represents a 91% premium over Vimeo’s 60-day volume-weighted average share price as of market close on Sept. 9, 2025.

“After a disciplined review of strategic alternatives, the Board unanimously determined that this all-cash transaction delivers compelling, certain value to Vimeo shareholders and positions the company to accelerate its strategic roadmap as part of Bending Spoons,” said Glenn H. Schiffman, Chairman of the Board.

“We’re confident they are the right long-term partner for our customers, employees, and brand,” Schiffman added.

Retail sentiment on Vimeo remained unchanged in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory, with message volumes at ‘extremely high’ levels, according to data from Stocktwits. Shares of Vimeo were up 3% in early trading. 

“Luca and his team are committed to expanding our product across all segments: Self-Serve, OTT/Vimeo Streaming, and Vimeo Enterprise,” said Vimeo CEO Philip Moyer.

The transaction was unanimously approved by Vimeo’s board and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company said that once the deal is completed, Vimeo will become a privately held company and its capital stock will no longer be listed on any public stock exchange.

“In particular, after closing, we’re determined to make ambitious investments in the US and other priority markets, and all key areas of the business, spanning both the creator and enterprise offerings,” Luca Ferrari, Bending Spoons CEO and co-founder, said.

Vimeo shares have declined nearly 25% this year and have lost 4% of their value in the last 12 months.
