SAN MATEO, Calif., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. ("GoPro" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to engage in a strategic process, and to engage a financial advisor to assist with that process. During the review process, the Board expects to evaluate a range of strategic alternatives that could include a sale of the company or merger, aimed at maximizing value for stockholders. In authorizing this process, the Board plans to work with independent financial and legal advisors. The Board and management team remain fully committed to acting in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders throughout this evaluation.
This review follows GoPro's recent engagement of Oliver Wyman, a global leader in defense‑sector consulting, to support the Company's expansion into the defense and aerospace markets. Since announcing this initiative on April 13, GoPro has received several unsolicited inbound strategic inquiries. To support a review of these inquiries and other potential strategic alternatives, the Board has authorized the Company to engage a financial advisor.
"Over the past 24 years, GoPro has developed significant technology, IP, and brand assets along with world class product development and scaled manufacturing capabilities," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. "We are excited to work with our advisors to evaluate potential opportunities in various sectors to maximize shareholder value."
GoPro and its Board of Directors has not set a timetable for the conclusion of its evaluation, nor has it made any decisions related to its review of any potential transactions at this time. GoPro does not intend to comment on its strategic review until it deems further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of timing of such review, or whether any particular transaction may be pursued or consummated.
