A Delaware judge ordered Verisk Analytics to resume efforts to complete its planned $2.35 billion acquisition of roofing software provider AccuLynx, ruling that the data analytics firm's December 2025 attempt to terminate the merger was invalid because its willful conduct caused a closing condition to fail. Chancellor Bonnie David said Verisk must use reasonable best efforts to complete the transaction, while AccuLynx can recover direct dispute costs with interest. Verisk announced the deal in July 2025 and initially expected it to close by the end of the third quarter, but the timetable slipped after the FTC issued a second request for information in October, extending its antitrust review beyond the merger agreement's December 26 drop-dead date. Verisk then declared the deal dead, a move AccuLynx immediately challenged. The acquisition still hinges on FTC approval, and the court did not guarantee that the deal will close.
