In one paragraph

DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. (DV) agreed to be acquired by Neptune BidCo US Inc. for $13.60 per share in cash. Unlike a tender offer, this deal needs a shareholder vote: the special meeting is scheduled for October 29, 2026. The companies expect to close by March 31, 2027 at the latest (the end of the period named in the proxy), if regulators also approve. At closing, each share is converted into the right to receive the cash, paid through your broker.

What can a shareholder do?

1. Vote and wait

Vote your shares (by proxy, before the meeting). If the merger closes, the cash is paid to your broker account automatically; you do not need to tender anything.

2. Sell on the market

You get the market price now, usually a little below the cash price (the spread above), without waiting for closing.

3. Appraisal rights

Holders who do not vote in favour may be able to ask a court to value their shares. It is slow and costly; the proxy explains the steps.

General information, not advice. Taxes: a cash buyout is generally treated like a sale of your shares; check your own situation.
