RAMP: LiveRamp deregisters unsold stock plan shares after Publicis merger
LiveRamp deregisters unsold common stock and plan interests under 20 older S-8 registration statements, a housekeeping filing.
What this filing says
LiveRamp filed post-effective amendments to withdraw and deregister all remaining shares under its employee equity and stock purchase plans, ending those registrations. The filing says this follows its merger into a wholly owned subsidiary of MMS USA Holdings, which became effective on November 2, 2026. For a shareholder, this is a housekeeping step tied to the completed acquisition rather than a new operational development.
