Wix has disclosed another potential payment to Base44 founder Maor Shlomo. The new provision adds US$32 million to the deal. The acquisition's total value could now reach approximately US$280 million.
Earnout additions
Wix set aside around US$90 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. It added US$38 million in the first quarter of 2026 and US$41 million in the second quarter. The latest US$32 million brings extra payments beyond the original US$80 million to about US$201 million.
Base44's rapid growth
Base44 has grown quickly since Wix bought it in June 2025. Wix said the platform approached US$250 million in annual recurring revenue in the third quarter. It had reached US$200 million in August after crossing US$100 million five months earlier.
What Base44 does
Base44 lets users build software applications through natural-language instructions. People describe what they want to create and AI systems generate the code. Wix acquired the startup when it had six employees, and it now has about 300.
The earnout is linked to revenue-related metrics from 2025 to 2028. Milestones are understood to be set at US$50 million intervals. Wix has not publicly confirmed that structure.
