Analysis · ACVA · Trade & Services
The Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period expired on October 13, 2026, removing the last major regulatory hurdle to Copart's $1.9 billion all-cash acquisition of ACV Auctions at $10.50 per share. With HSR clearance secured, the tender offer is now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. ET on October 15, 2026, subject only to the Minimum Condition that more than 50% of outstanding shares are validly tendered. This is the final regulatory approval needed before the deal can close, and it comes after a prior HSR refiling had delayed the process. The stock trades at $10.49, essentially at the $10.50 offer price, reflecting market confidence that the deal will complete.
