Zitara Technologies, Inc. was acquired by Fortescue's Elysia platform in January 2026 and is now 'deadpooled.' This means any equity offer for Zitara Technologies, Inc. itself is effectively worthless, as the company no longer exists as an independent entity.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (5%)-90%

While highly improbable given the 'deadpooled' status, a theoretical bull case would involve common shareholders receiving a very small, unexpected payout from the acquisition, perhaps due to specific deal terms or a minor carve-out, still resulting in a significant loss from any prior implied valuation.

Base (25%)-99%

The most likely scenario is that common shareholders, including employees with RSUs or options, received little to no payout from the acquisition by Elysia, as the acquisition price likely did not exceed the $29M in liquidation preferences held by preferred investors. The equity in Zitara is effectively worthless.

Bear (70%)-100%

In the bear case, which is highly probable given the 'deadpooled' status, common shareholders received absolutely no return on their equity. The company's assets were acquired, and the legal entity was dissolved, wiping out all value for common stock due to liquidation preferences.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

With $29M in total funding and an estimated pre-acquisition valuation of $85M (post-money from Series AA), investors held approximately 34.1% of the company's value in liquidation preferences.

Dilution Risk

high

While future dilution is no longer a concern for Zitara as an independent entity, prior funding rounds would have diluted common shareholders significantly before the acquisition.

Secondary Liquidity

none

There is no secondary market for equity in a deadpooled company.
