March 30 (Reuters) - American Exchange Group (AXNY) entered an agreement on Monday to buy all the assets and liabilities of footwear maker Allbirds BIRD.O for $39 million.

Here are some details on this:

  • Shares of Allbirds rose about 32% to $3.92 in extended trading.

  • The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, with the distribution of net proceeds after taking into account wind-down expenses, to shareholders anticipated in the third quarter.

  • "This next chapter with AXNY builds on the foundational work already completed and sets up the brand to thrive in the years ahead," Allbirds CEO Joe Vernachio said in a statement.

  • TD Cowen is acting as financial adviser and Holland & Hart LLP is serving as legal counsel to Allbirds.
