Inspirato’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction and intends to recommend that Inspirato ( ISPO ) shareholders vote to adopt the definitive agreement at a special meeting of the shareholders. In connection with the transaction, Inspirato ( ISPO ) has entered into a voting and support agreement with Inspirato’s largest shareholder and current Chairman and CEO, Payam Zamani, who has agreed—subject to the terms of the agreement—to vote shares he controls (including through his affiliated company, One Planet Group), representing in total approximately 36% of Inspirato’s shares of Class A common stock, in favor of the transaction. 

“Since I joined Inspirato ( ISPO ) a year and four months ago, our journey has been defined by the extraordinary dedication of our employees and their unwavering care for our members and this incredible brand. Following a year dedicated to stabilizing and strengthening the business, this agreement represents another positive step forward for Inspirato’s customers, employees, partners, and shareholders,” said Zamani. “This agreement represents an important step forward. It delivers immediate value to our shareholders while placing Inspirato ( ISPO ) in the hands of an owner with the resources, patience, and long-term commitment needed to honor our people, support our members, and steward this brand with care for years to come.”

The acquisition of Inspirato ( ISPO ) is expected to close in early 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Inspirato’s shareholders. Once the transaction closes, Zamani will step down from his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inspirato ( ISPO ). James Henderson, CEO of The Exclusive Collective and Exclusive Resorts, will serve as interim CEO of Inspirato ( ISPO ) until a permanent successor is appointed. 

“Inspirato has demonstrated resilience and relevance in a demanding market,” said Henderson. “This transaction reflects our conviction in the business and our intention to provide long-term ownership, capital stability, and operational support. We believe private ownership will allow Inspirato ( ISPO ) to focus on execution, consistency, and value creation for subscribers, partners, and employees over the long term.”
