The July 2024 Series B remains a separate financing event. Arm's July 29 Form 6-K states that it acquired 100% of DreamBig's outstanding equity on July 1, 2026 in an all-cash transaction for approximately $265M, subject to customary purchase-price adjustments. The consideration is not cumulative funding, financing, or a live valuation.
The company-distributed release named additional investors without listing every participant; no check size or ownership is inferred. Arm's later completed acquisition is a separate transaction.
