Round amount basis
Exact as disclosedEquity
The July 2024 round participants come from DreamBig's company-distributed release. Arm's FY2026 filing says the October 2025 definitive acquisition agreement remained subject to closing conditions; it is not treated as completed, 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 pending acquisition is a separate transaction.
