AUSTIN, Texas, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Commerce.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMRC) (formerly BigCommerce Holdings, Inc.) today confirmed its Board of Directors received an unsolicited proposal from Rezolve Ai PLC (NASDAQ: RZLV) under which Rezolve Ai proposed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Commerce.com by exchanging one Rezolve Ai share for every two shares of Commerce.com, implying a 47% discount to the current Commerce.com share price, based on Rezolve Ai's closing price of $2.88 on April 7, 2026. The Board of Directors determined this proposal significantly undervalues the company, is not attractive to Commerce.com shareholders, and does not warrant further engagement.
This decision follows the Board of Directors' previous unanimous rejection of a private, unsolicited all-stock proposal received from Rezolve Ai on February 22, 2026 under which Rezolve Ai proposed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Commerce.com by exchanging one Rezolve Ai share for each Commerce.com share, implying a 29% discount to prior Commerce.com share price, based on Rezolve Ai's closing price of $2.15 on February 20. It is notable that the revised proposal received today is even less favorable and implies a significant discount to the Company's current market valuation.
The Board and management team remain committed to maximizing long-term value for Commerce.com shareholders, and are focused on further advancing its recent material business transformation. With improved e?ciency, expanded margins, realigned investment to the highest-impact growth areas, and a clear position in AI-powered agency commerce, Commerce.com is well positioned to deliver enhanced growth and value. The Board and management team will continue to take actions to advance that objective.
Morgan Stanley is serving as financial advisor to Commerce.com, and Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as legal counsel.
