Vimeo, a leading video platform for business, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.38 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Vimeo shareholders will receive $7.85 per share in cash for each share of Vimeo capital stock that they own. The per-share purchase price represents a 91% premium over Vimeo’s 60-day volume-weighted average share price as of market close on September 9, 2025.
Details of the Transaction
The transaction, which was unanimously approved by Vimeo’s Board of Directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, including approval by Vimeo’s stockholders, and the receipt of required regulatory approvals.
Upon the completion of the transaction, Vimeo will become a privately held company and its capital stock will no longer be listed on any public stock exchange.
Glenn H. Schiffman, Chairman of the Board
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. We’re confident they are the right long-term partner for our customers, employees, and brand.
Philip Moyer, Vimeo CEO

We are excited about this partnership, which we believe will unlock even greater focus for our team and customers as we continue to strive towards our global mission to be the most innovative and trusted video platform in the world for businesses.
Luca Ferrari, Bending Spoons CEO and co-founder
We’re looking forward to welcoming Vimeo into the Bending Spoons portfolio. Vimeo is a pioneering brand in the video space, serving a passionate, global community of creators and businesses.

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. We'll focus on achieving even more stellar levels of performance and reliability, bringing advanced features to more customers, and continuing to release powerful and responsible AI-enabled features.
