About Bird Global, Inc.

Bird Global, Inc. is a U.S.-based company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker BRDS, with its principal operating presence in Santa Monica, California, United States. Founded in 2017, Bird initially established itself as one of the early leaders in shared micromobility, focusing on short-distance urban transportation. Its original model centered on providing electric scooters and broader on-demand electric transportation solutions, aimed at making city travel more accessible, convenient, and lower-emission. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1829730/000119312521158298/d469014dex991.htm?utm_source=openai)) From an operating standpoint, Bird built its business around two main lines: shared electric vehicle services and, in certain periods, sales of vehicles for personal use. SEC disclosures describe the company as a micromobility provider delivering short-range electric transportation solutions, with offerings that included a core vehicle-sharing business and product sales. That mix gave Bird a recognizable position in the urban mobility ecosystem, although the competitive landscape has always been crowded and highly dependent on local regulation, fleet economics, and city-by-city execution.

More recently, however, the company’s profile has shifted materially toward restructuring and asset monetization. SEC filings from 2025 and 2026 show ongoing cost reductions, the closing of remaining retail stores, and a strategic alternative process that culminated in a March 29, 2026 Asset Purchase Agreement with American Exchange Group to sell substantially all assets and certain liabilities for $39 million in cash, subject to customary approvals. Following the expected closing in the second quarter of 2026, Bird intends to dissolve and distribute proceeds to stockholders.

The company’s history reflects early category leadership in shared micromobility, but recent disclosures underscore persistent profitability pressure, asset sales, and a strategic exit from its legacy operating model. Accordingly, the key market focus is now execution risk around the transaction, balance-sheet management, and the timing of any liquidation or distribution process.
