  • Zendesk confirmed a Bloomberg report from Thursday that the deal was expected to be terminated after failing to get shareholder support for its Momentive purchase.

  • Zendesk (ZEN) earlier this month rejected an "unsolicited" bid from a consortium of private equity firms to acquire Zendesk in an all-cash transaction valued between $127 and $132 per share.
