Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ithaca Holdings agreed to acquire Bumble for $1.3 billion. The deal values Bumble at $6.05 per share, which is a premium over the company's average share price in September, when it was below $3. The company will transition to private ownership, though founder Whitney Wolfe Herd will remain a close partner.
