What happened
Bending Spoons S.p.A. (NASDAQ: BSP) said on October 2, 2026, that it closed two add-ons to its senior secured term loan B due 2031.
The financing includes a $1.25 billion U.S. dollar add-on and a 395 million euro add-on. Both priced on September 25, 2026.
It also said the add-ons are fungible and consistent with certain existing term loan B tranches.
Bending Spoons said it intends to use the proceeds to finance the agreed Miro acquisition, repay the currently drawn portion of its euro revolving credit facility and fund general corporate purposes.

Why it matters
The filing gives investors a dated baseline for the size and stated use of the borrowing.
At 66.7% above the original $750 million target, the U.S. add-on shows the deal was enlarged before closing.
The euro add-on was also upsized, to 395 million from a 250 million equivalent target.
That ties the borrowing to a named acquisition and a specific repayment.
OptimistFi's case is that the filing establishes a financing benchmark rather than a valuation call.
The counterweight is that the report is a transaction update, not a verdict on the Miro deal itself.
The press release said the add-ons were subject to certain conditions, including finalization and execution of definitive documentation.

What's next
The remaining step named in the press release is finalization and execution of definitive documentation.
If that happens, the borrowing should stay on track for the agreed Miro acquisition and the euro revolving credit facility repayment.
If the company follows through on those uses, this October 2 filing will stand as the baseline for the financing.
The next useful check is any later filing showing the acquisition and repayment in place.
That gives investors a clear date to watch for when the borrowing is actually put to use.
