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.
