• HSR Antitrust Clearance Obtained

  A key condition to the tender offer was satisfied when the HSR Act waiting period expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2026.

• Texas Insurance Regulatory Approval

  Clearing a state-level regulatory requirement, the Texas Department of Insurance issued its non-disapproval of the merger.

• Deal Remains Subject to Other Conditions

  The tender offer and merger still require satisfaction of remaining customary closing conditions, including resolution of three shareholder lawsuits alleging misleading disclosures.

• Tender Offer Price Unchanged at $3.15

  ANV Group continues to offer $3.15 per share in cash, representing a slight premium to the current stock price of $3.14.

With the HSR waiting period now expired and the Texas Department of Insurance issuing its non-disapproval, two significant regulatory obstacles to ANV Group's $3.15 per share cash acquisition have been removed. Antitrust and state insurance reviews are satisfied, materially reducing the deal's closing risk. The tender offer, already recommended by Open Lending's board, now faces only the remaining customary conditions and the pending shareholder lawsuits disclosed earlier. This amendment signals that the transaction is progressing toward completion, though the lawsuits still pose a potential delay or risk to the timeline.
