Vacasa shareholders greenlight Casago merger

PORTLAND, Ore. - Vacasa, Inc. (NASDAQ:VCSA), a prominent vacation rental management platform with a market capitalization of $123 million, announced today that its stockholders have voted in favor of merging with Casago, a fellow vacation rental company. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 106% surge over the past six months, despite facing operational challenges. The approval came during a special meeting held by Vacasa, with a significant majority of stockholders supporting the move.

The merger, which has been in the pipeline since the initial agreement on December 30, 2024, received amendments on March 17 and March 28, 2025. The final vote saw approximately 69% of Vacasa’s Class A common stock and 96% of Class B common stock, along with 72% of the combined voting stock, favoring the merger. This strategic move comes as Vacasa faces revenue headwinds, with InvestingPro analysis showing an 18.5% decline in revenue over the last twelve months.

The anticipated completion of the merger is set for 11:59 pm ET on April 30, 2025, pending the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions. A detailed report of the special meeting’s results will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Form 8-K. With the company’s current ratio at 0.77, indicating potential liquidity challenges, investors are eagerly awaiting the next earnings report scheduled for May 8, 2025.

However, as with all forward-looking statements, there are risks and uncertainties that could affect the outcomes discussed, such as the actual closing of the merger and the realization of anticipated benefits within the expected timeframe. While current market pricing suggests the stock is undervalued according to InvestingPro’s Fair Value model, investors should note the company’s weak overall financial health score of 1.68 out of 5.
