Bending Spoons has agreed to buy Airtable in an all-cash deal valuing the U.S. software firm at $1.285 billion, the companies said on Tuesday.

The deal marks the Italian technology company's first acquisition since its Nasdaq debut last month. Airtable offers a software platform that combines spreadsheet and database capabilities, allowing companies to build applications and manage operational workflows without coding expertise. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
