Rumble Secures All Approvals for Northern Data Business Combination

Rumble Inc. has announced that it has obtained complete regulatory approvals for its merger with Northern Data AG. On April 29, 2026, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Economy endorsed the transaction, removing the need for further approvals. Currently, 16% of Northern Data shares not covered by transaction agreements have been tendered. In total, 77% of shares are secured.

Shareholders of Northern Data are advised to accept the final offer, as this is the best proposal with no increase in consideration. The offer period concludes on May 9, 2026, although an additional period runs from May 15 to June 1, 2026. The merger aims to strengthen Rumble’s position in AI computation and digital video innovation.

The Northern Data shares will be promptly delisted post-offer closure, which may affect liquidity and transparency. Shareholders who do not tender may face difficulties in selling their shares. The transaction is expected to finalize by mid-June 2026.
