By Dean Seal

Eargo has agreed to be acquired and privatized by the investment firm Patient Square Capital for $2.55 a share.

The hearing aid company said Monday the deal represents a 52% premium over its closing share price on Friday.

Eargo's board approved the transaction after it was unanimously recommended by a special committee.

The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024. Upon closing, Eargo's shares will no longer be publicly traded.

The acquisition comes less than a week after Eargo said its devices will now be sold at over 500 Best Buy locations.

Food and Drug Administration said it would allow some hearing aids to be sold over-the-counter.

The FDA said the move will "improve access to hearing aids which may in turn lower costs for millions of Americans." It enables customers "with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment to purchase hearing aids directly from stores or online retailers without the need for a medical exam, prescription or a fitting adjustment by an audiologist."

It's definitely sucking in the shorts tho, and walah... a mover, 2022 style.

Wow, those are some awful earnings put out a few days ago. Should be trading @ .10 haha

Nice day looking very good. Company seems to be back on track.

Bad,bad Q2 financial. But...that was expected. Q2 LOSS of $32.4M.

People buying at nearly 2.00 today?!?!?

HORRIFICALLY BAD - like plane crash with a car crash wrapped around it kinda bad LMAO !!!

"Hearing aids" = a SHITTY BUSINESS as proven by ALL these dilution mills that MAKE NO PROFIT SELLING THEM !!!

EAR is going to DILUTE THE SHIT OUT OF THEIR STOCK and the only other scam-n-sham "public traded" so called "Hearing Aid Company" I'm aware of is doing THE EXACT SAME THING w/ that epic POS surpassing 8 BILLION SHARES printed and issued within the next month or two.

PROVING "hearing aid sales" is a NON PROFIT and LOW MARGIN POS "business" - nothing but SHARE PRINTING SCAMS and never scale well or have decent margins.

The damn RATE OF PRODUCT RETURN and BAD PRODUCT NEEDING SERVICE is staggering in the EAR report (SAME for all these CHINA INC Xiamen Sound Alibaba import/middle-man 2-bit knock off sellers) - which is THE NORM as all the crap these POS companies sell is CHINA INC middle-man garbage !!

EAR might be a flip when it gets done diluting and is probably sitting at 50 CENTS max or so - and even then it's gonna be risky as hell until they can show they've stopped bleeding cash and DILUTING.

Bad,bad Q2 financial. But...that was expected. Q2 LOSS of $32.4M.

People buying at nearly 2.00 today?!?!?

$EAR shares are jumping more than 23% despite a lack of news

Financials will be released on Monday at the close.

Financials will be released on Monday or Tue at the latest and will be in the dumpster. No way these guys will have a good quarter for some time to come. They borrowed $100M in toxic notes to stay afloat just a month ago.
