Western Union, IMXI refile HSR for merger; DFPI approval suspended, closing delayed past Oct 6

Western Union CO

Western Union and International Money Express filed new HSR Premerger Notification forms with the FTC and DOJ on Oct 2, 2026, starting a new 30-day waiting period; early termination requested.
The prior HSR waiting period expired Oct 6, 2025, and clearance lasts only one year, so a new filing was required to close the merger after Oct 6, 2026.
California DFPI suspended its approval of the merger (disclosed Aug 13, 2026); the parties do not expect reinstatement before Oct 6, 2026 and remain in talks with the regulator.
Merger Agreement dated Aug 10, 2025: Ivey Merger Sub, Inc. will merge into IMXI, which survives as a wholly owned Western Union subsidiary.
All other regulatory approvals are obtained; closing still conditioned on HSR expiration/termination, DFPI reinstatement and other customary conditions.
