Delaware judge orders Verisk to proceed with $2.35 billion AccuLynx deal
Aug 7, 2026 8:17 PM

WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A Delaware judge ordered data analytics firm Verisk to try completing its planned $2.35 billion acquisition of roofing software maker AccuLynx, with the order coming more than seven months after Verisk said it pulled the plug on the deal.

Here are details:

-- Bonnie David, a Delaware Chancery Court judge, said Verisk's termination of the deal was invalid "because its willful conduct caused the failure of a condition to closing."

-- In late December, Verisk had said its decision to terminate the deal followed a notification from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that the agency had not completed its review of the transaction by the termination date of December 26.

-- AccuLynx had notified Verisk that it believed the deal termination was invalid. Verisk had said it strongly disagreed with the assertion and planned to "vigorously" defend its position.

-- Verisk had unveiled its plan to acquire AccuLynx in July 2025, a deal that was initially expected to close by the third quarter of 2025.

-- The FTC had in October sought more details from Verisk and AccuLynx about the proposed transaction, signifying an extended regulatory review and delaying the closing of the deal.

-- The judge said on Friday that AccuLynx was entitled to damages for direct costs with interest.

-- The deal is subject to FTC approval.
