Fathom Holdings and NXH agree to explore alternative deal replacing June merger
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. Under the proposal, NXH would contribute digital assets, led by its stake in tZERO, in exchange for newly issued Fathom shares, and would keep a controlling interest in Fathom. For shareholders, the original share exchange would be replaced by a deal that could change Fathom's ownership and control, and the companies say there is no assurance it will be completed.
Key points
- The Original Merger Agreement, dated June 16, 2026, would be terminated once definitive documents are signed.
- NXH's digital assets would be ascribed no less than $130 million in value, driven mainly by its approximately 38.8% direct and indirect stake in tZERO, subject to Fathom's validation.
- 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.
