International Money Express: new HSR filing needed as DFPI approval stays suspended

Negative Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

International Money Express refiled its antitrust notification under the HSR Act on October 2, 2026, because the original clearance expires one year after its waiting period ended. A new 30-day waiting period starts, and the California DFPI, which suspended its merger approval, is not expected to reinstate it before October 6, 2026. The Western Union merger remains pending and may take longer to close, which keeps shareholders waiting on the deal.

Key points

  • The original HSR waiting period expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 6, 2025, and clearance is effective for one year.
  • On October 2, 2026, the company and Western Union each filed HSR notification forms, starting a new 30-day waiting period; early termination was requested.
  • The DFPI suspended its approval of the merger, and the parties do not expect reinstatement before October 6, 2026.
  • Closing still requires the new HSR waiting period to expire or terminate, DFPI approval to be reinstated, and other closing conditions to be met.
