What happened

Getty Images initiated NYSE delisting on October 13, 2026 and is pursuing an expedited prepackaged Chapter 11 restructuring of roughly $2.1B in debt, with a plan to return to private ownership. The Getty family and Koch Equity Development are to inject up to $533M; public equity is expected to be cancelled.

The AI connection

Both the company and the coverage attribute the collapse in part to generative-AI image tools eroding the stock-photography market, alongside the abandoned $3.7B Shutterstock merger (dropped in July amid UK CMA scrutiny).

Status

A court filing (bankruptcy petition); the restructuring plan has not been confirmed by the court. Getty's US copyright suit against Stability AI over training on its images continues separately.
