Vimeo Raises $300 Million of Equity

Jan 25, 2021

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vimeo, an IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) business and the world's leading video software company, today announced it raised $300 million in primary equity from funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and Oberndorf Enterprises, LLC at a valuation in excess of $5 billion. This follows the November 2020 announcement of the company's $150 million equity raise and IAC's plan to spin-off Vimeo into an independent, separately-traded public company.

The new investment occurred in two tranches, consisting of $200 million at a $5.2 billion pre-money valuation and $100 million at a $5.7 billion pre-money valuation. The capital will provide Vimeo with additional cash to accelerate its investments in growth, innovation and talent. Subject to necessary stockholder approvals and the final approval of the IAC board of directors, IAC expects to complete the spin-off of Vimeo to IAC shareholders early in the second quarter of 2021.

Demand for Vimeo's cloud-based software—which offers businesses a turnkey solution for essential video needs—continues to see record growth among corporate and business customers such as Amazon, Starbucks, Deloitte, Zendesk, Rite Aid and Siemens. In December, Vimeo saw its highest month of year-over-year revenue growth—57 percent—for all of 2020.

"As the world embraces video like never before, Vimeo is in an incredibly strong position to help more businesses take advantage of this powerful medium," said Anjali Sud, CEO, Vimeo. "We have built an industry-leading solution that the market needs, and we intend to move swiftly to bring our professional-quality tools to millions more users."

"Vimeo is the quintessential IAC success story," said Joey Levin, CEO, IAC. "With patience, discipline, and ambition, Vimeo has transformed from a tiny seed to a large global enterprise making its mark on the world, and Anjali Sud is an exceptional leader."
