Fathom Holdings and Neighborhood Intelligence (NXH) said on September 24, 2026, that they agreed to explore an alternative transaction in place of the merger agreement signed June 16, 2026.

NXH expects to keep a controlling interest in Fathom, and the final share count will be set in definitive agreements.
The deal remains subject to definitive agreements, Fathom and NXH board and Fathom stockholder approvals, an independent fairness opinion, and regulatory approvals.
