Inspirato and Buyerlink Announce Mutual Decision to End Merger Agreement

DENVER, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspirato Incorporated ("Inspirato" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ISPO), the premier luxury vacation club and property technology company, and Buyerlink, a leader in building and operating online marketplaces, today announced that they have mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced merger agreement to combine the two companies. Inspirato will continue operating independently, with no termination fee paid by either party.

"Although we believed the proposed merger with Buyerlink would have offered meaningful benefits, we also listened carefully to the perspectives of our shareholders," said Ann Payne, Inspirato's Lead Independent Director. "After thoughtful consideration, the Board determined that the best path forward is for Inspirato to continue as an independent company. We are proud of the progress we've made, confident in the strength of our brand and member community, and fully committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders. And, as always, we will continue to evaluate other strategic alternatives as appropriate to ensure we are maximizing value for our shareholders."

The decision to remain independent reflects the strength of Inspirato's momentum and confidence in its future. Over the past year, the Company has sharpened its operations, deepened engagement with members, and reinforced its leadership position in luxury travel. This strong foundation provides the platform for continued growth as Inspirato advances its mission to deliver certainty, service, and unforgettable experiences to travelers worldwide.

"Inspirato is more than a business. It is a community of passionate travelers and a brand that our members trust and love," said Payam Zamani, Inspirato's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Since I joined 14 months ago, we have made tremendous strides together: enhancing the member experience, streamlining operations, and building a stronger foundation for growth. Our vision is clear: to continue elevating Inspirato into one of the world's most indispensable luxury travel brands. We are excited about the future, confident in our progress, and deeply grateful to our members, employees, and shareholders who inspire everything we do."

Inspirato and Buyerlink expressed appreciation for the collaboration and efforts of both teams throughout the process and extended best wishes for each other's continued success.
