Delaware court orders Verisk to pursue $2.35 billion AccuLynx merger it tried to exit

8/12/2026

$2.35 billion is the merger Verisk cannot walk away from.

Delaware Chancery Court ruled Friday that the insurance data analytics firm, which carries roughly a $25 billion market cap, must use "commercially reasonable efforts" to secure regulatory approval for its acquisition of AccuLynx, a privately held provider of CRM software for roofing contractors.

Verisk shares opened Monday down 5.7%. How the termination unraveled Verisk agreed to buy AccuLynx last summer.

The FTC issued a second request for documents in October, pushing regulatory approval past the deadline written into the merger agreement. Verisk used that delay to terminate the deal in December.
