Adobe terminates Figma acquisition, pays $1B termination fee due to regulatory hurdles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Mutual termination of merger agreement effective December 17, 2023; no clear path for regulatory approvals from EU and UK.
- Adobe will make a cash payment of $1 billion (termination fee) to Figma within three business days.
- Both companies disagree with regulatory findings but decided to walk away; no other claims are sought.
- Figma and Adobe will continue independently; Adobe says it remains well positioned to capitalize on market opportunity.
