Core Scientific Inc. shareholders have voted down a proposed $9 billion takeover bid by CoreWeave Inc., citing valuation concerns.
The takeover offer, announced in July, would have seen Core Scientific shareholders exchange each of its shares for 0.1235 shares of CoreWeave Class A stock.
Core Scientific investors argued that the all-stock deal undervalued the company’s recent recovery and growth potential in the booming artificial intelligence colocation market.
