TRNR to Acquire STEPR for $19M in Preferred Stock Plus Cash, Expanding Fitness Portfolio
TRNR is trading near its 52-week low of $2.37 (3.4% above the low) on elevated volume (10× avg).
Summary
Interactive Strength signed a definitive agreement to acquire connected stair-climbing company STEPR, paying $19 million in Series F preferred stock with performance-based scaling, plus cash contributions including $1.5 million for working capital and up to $1.2 million to repay an existing shareholder loan. The deal also includes a $1.5 million secured note for pre-closing advances and up to $2.5 million in post-closing advances. This follows the 8-K filed earlier today and the June 30 reverse split, adding a profitable product line to a company that recently raised going-concern doubts. The acquisition expands TRNR's portfolio beyond CLMBR but adds significant dilution risk given the preferred stock issuance and the company's tiny $1.3 million market cap. Closing is expected in Q4 2026.
At the time of this announcement, TRNR was trading at $2.45 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.3M.
