Grindr Settles UK Privacy Class Action for £26M, No Admission of Liability
GRND sits 57% above its 52-week low of $9.732.
Summary
Grindr resolved a UK group action over pre-2020 data practices with a £26.0 million (~$35.2M) settlement, payable in two installments by March 2027. The company made no admission of liability. This follows the 8-K filed earlier today and removes a legal overhang, though the cash outlay is notable given Grindr's low cash balance of $6.5M as of Q2. The settlement is modest relative to market cap but adds to near-term liquidity pressure. Watch for any impact on the company's buyback capacity and upcoming earnings.
At the time of this announcement, GRND was trading at $15.25 on NYSE in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.7B. The 52-week trading range was $9.73 to $18.50.
