Fathom Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:FTHM) ("Fathom") and Neighborhood Intelligence, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXH) ("NXH") today announced that their respective Boards of Directors have mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced merger agreement between the companies.

After careful consideration of the proposed transaction, the Boards of both companies concluded that proceeding with a merger at current valuations would not appropriately reflect the fair value of either company for its shareholders. The companies believe the timing is not right to combine their businesses, and have mutually agreed to terminate the merger agreement.

Separately, following a review by its Board and management and discussions with shareholders, Neighborhood Intelligence determined that retaining ownership and control of its blockchain and digital asset investments offers its shareholders the greatest opportunity to participate in their potential future value. The Company remains encouraged by tZERO’s progress and believes tZERO should continue executing its strategic plan while Neighborhood Intelligence maintains its ownership position.

Neighborhood Intelligence to Retain Blockchain Asset Ownership

Neighborhood Intelligence believes the potential value of its blockchain assets is not appropriately reflected in current market valuations. The Company’s decision to retain ownership and control is intended to preserve the opportunity for shareholders to participate in potential future value as these assets and the broader blockchain ecosystem develop. This decision is independent of the companies’ decision not to proceed with a merger at this time.
