As of September 4, 2026. Closing facts reflect the September 4 disclosure; valuation and specified operating metrics are explicitly dated to the August 4 announcement.

What “Source checked” means

Bending Spoons S.p.A. (NASDAQ: BSP) completed its previously announced all-cash acquisition of 100% of Formagrid Inc., which does business as Airtable, on September 4, 2026. The closing marks its first acquisition since listing on Nasdaq on July 1.

Airtable joins the portfolio

The completed acquisition brings Airtable into a portfolio that the closing press release lists alongside AOL, Brightcove, Eventbrite, Evernote, Tractive, Vimeo and WeTransfer. Airtable serves more than 500,000 organizations, according to the company’s claim in that release.

Bending Spoons reported the closing in a September 4 Form 6-K, accession number 0002004711-26-000013, with the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The next outlook will address Airtable

Bending Spoons’ August 13, 2026 outlook excluded Airtable. The company expects to incorporate the acquired business at its next results, leaving its contribution to the combined company’s outlook unresolved in the closing announcement.

Earlier deal values remain announcement-era figures

When the acquisition was announced on August 4, Bending Spoons disclosed an enterprise value of $1.285 billion and an implied equity value of approximately $2.25 billion, based on Airtable’s then-current net cash. The September 4 closing release does not restate those dollar amounts, so they should not be read as newly confirmed closing consideration.

The August announcement also put Airtable’s annual recurring revenue at approximately $480 million as of June 2026, up more than 20% year over year, and said 80% of Fortune 100 companies used Airtable. Those are announcement-era company claims, not refreshed operating metrics in the closing release.

Final dollar consideration and outlook contribution remain unconfirmed here

The closing release does not restate the purchase-price dollar figures or refresh the announcement-era ARR and Fortune 100 claims. Airtable’s contribution to the company’s outlook awaits the expected update at the next results.
