Tripadvisor has announced a $435 million deal to acquire Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, aiming to simplify its capital structure by repaying debt, issuing stock, and making cash payments.
The transaction includes $42.5 million in cash and 3.04 million Tripadvisor shares for Series A preferred shareholders and $20 million in cash for Liberty stakeholders, while retiring $330 million in debt and about 27 million Tripadvisor shares owned by Liberty. At a purchase price of $16.21 per share, reflecting a 16% premium, the deal is expected to close in Q2 2025, pending approvals. Once finalized, Tripadvisor will operate under a single class of shares with no controlling shareholder, enhancing strategic focus.
