Allbirds Is Done: A $4 Billion Brand Sells for $39 Million and Dissolves

Allbirds agreed to sell substantially all assets and intellectual property to American Exchange Group for $39 million and plans to dissolve thereafter. The transaction effectively liquidates the consumer footwear brand (NASDAQ:BIRD), likely severely impairing existing equity holders and ending ongoing operations. The sale transfers IP and brand rights to the buyer, potentially enabling future licensing or relaunch under new ownership but signaling a write-down for current investors.
