AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Western Union (WU)

Western Union says HSR waiting period expired for International Money Express deal

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 m&a

Western Union disclosed that the U.S. antitrust waiting period under the HSR Act for its proposed merger with International Money Express expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 2, 2026. The merger still requires reinstatement of a suspended approval from the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and satisfaction of other closing conditions, so completion is not assured by this filing.

Key points

  • HSR waiting period expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 2, 2026
  • Companies filed new HSR notification forms on October 2, 2026
  • Merger still needs California DFPI approval reinstated and other closing conditions met
  • Merger agreement was signed August 10, 2025
