BOSTON, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Berman Tabacco announces that it is investigating the proposal by controlling stockholders of Grindr Inc. (“Grindr” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GRND), George Raymond Zage, III and James Fu Bin Lu, to cash out Grindr’s public stockholders and take the company private. If you are a current Grindr stockholder, you can obtain additional information by visiting Grindr Inc. | Berman Tabacco.
About the Investigation
On October 14, 2025, Grindr disclosed that it had received a letter from Zage and Lu, expressing interest in a possible going-private transaction. Then, on October 24, 2025, Zage and Lu disclosed that they made an offer to purchase all Grindr shares from minority stockholders for $18.00 per share. Even though the Company claims to have appointed a special committee of independent, disinterested directors to review the proposed transaction, questions remain about the independence of the special committee, having already authorized stock buybacks that pushed Zage past the 50% ownership threshold. In addition, there is no indication that the transaction will be conditioned on the affirmative vote of a majority-of-the-minority stockholders.
Berman Tabacco is investigating Grindr’s controlling stockholders and board of directors to determine whether they have breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction.
