Bending Spoons Completes the Acquisition of Miro

Bending Spoons S.p.A. (NASDAQ: BSP) has completed the previously announced acquisition of Miro, the visual collaboration platform used by more than 250,000 organizations to brainstorm, plan, and build together.

“Miro has built a strong business around a product that makes complex collaborative work feel simple,” said Luca Ferrari, Bending Spoons CEO and co-founder. “Miro’s versatility has made it useful across a broad range of industries and workflows, while creating a robust foundation for further expansion. We believe there’s significant potential to build on these strengths. We look forward to drawing on Bending Spoons’ technologies and expertise to make Miro even more useful to customers and support its continued growth.”

“Teams depend on Miro for innovating, alignment, coordination, and decisioning, and that need is only growing,“ said Andrey Khusid, CEO and co-founder of Miro. “In Bending Spoons, Miro has an owner who invests for the long term and cares deeply about product quality, which is exactly what our users and customers deserve. Thank you to our customers, to every Mironeer, and to the partners and investors who have supported us along the journey so far.”

Details of the Transaction

Under the terms of the agreement, Bending Spoons acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Miro in an all-cash transaction. At closing, certain former Miro shareholders invested approximately $295 million of their proceeds in approximately 6.2 million newly issued ordinary shares of Bending Spoons. The shares were issued in a private placement exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The financial outlook provided by Bending Spoons on August 13, 2026, was based solely on the portfolio of businesses owned as of August 12, 2026, and excluded any contribution from Miro. Bending Spoons expects to incorporate Miro into its outlook when it next reports financial results.
