Bumble agreed to be bought by Ithaca Holdings for $6.05 a share in cash, valuing it at $1.3B. Shares jumped about 56% to near the offer. Blackstone and founder Whitney Wolfe Herd have already approved by written consent. Upside is now capped near the bid.

> **Why it matters** With the controlling holders' consent already given, the vote is secured, so the stock now trades on the cash offer and on regulatory approvals rather than on Bumble's own results.

> **What we verified** Bumble's filing and 24/7 Wall St both give $6.05 per Class A share, a $1.3B valuation and a roughly 56% jump (from a $3.80 prior close to about $5.94). The company puts the premium at about 138% to the 9 Oct close; one outlet measured it differently, at about 122%, so treat the premium as method-dependent.
