The mini-tender offer

On 9 October 2026 CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) recommended that stockholders reject an unsolicited mini-tender offer from Tutanota LLC, an entity the company describes as established in Nevis. The offer seeks up to 500,000 shares at US$260.00 in cash, representing less than 0.05 per cent of shares outstanding. It is due to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time on Monday 19 October 2026, subject to extension.

CrowdStrike said the price is conditioned on its shares closing above US$260.00 on the last trading day before expiry, so tendering holders would receive a below-market price unless that condition is waived. The offer is also subject to financing and other conditions. The company states it does not endorse the offer, is not associated with Tutanota, and urges holders to check current quotes and take advice. Tendering holders may withdraw their shares before expiry, the release states.
