The merger agreement involves Lenny Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Richard Spanton, Jr., as representative of ExactLogix equityholders. In the press release (Exhibit 99.1), Verisk said it respects the Delaware Supreme Court's order to affirm the judgment of the Delaware Chancery Court and will proceed in accordance with the Court's order. The company stated that the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and FTC review, and that there is no guarantee the transaction will be completed.
