What changed: Updated the story to reflect Rezolve AI's escalation to a hostile takeover bid and specific stock exchange ratio details.

Rezolve AI (RSLV) has escalated its pursuit of Commerce.com (CMRC) by launching a hostile takeover bid after the latter's board refused to enter merger discussions. The proposed offer is structured as an all-stock transaction, offering two Commerce.com shares for each Rezolve share. By bypassing the board, Rezolve aims to appeal directly to shareholders to gain control of Commerce.com’s network of 60,000 online stores and its extensive enterprise relationships. This aggressive move follows the board's initial rejection of an unsolicited bid, which it claimed significantly undervalued the company. Investors on the NASDAQ are now closely monitoring the situation to see if shareholders will tender their shares. The escalation marks a significant shift in the acquisition battle, potentially forcing a defensive response from Commerce.com management.
