Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory

"Disposed of pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 2026"

An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.

Merger Agreement regulatory

"as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement""

A merger agreement is a binding contract that lays out the exact terms for two companies to combine, including the price, what each side will deliver, and the conditions that must be met before the deal is completed. Investors care because it sets the timetable, payouts and risks — like a blueprint or prenup that shows whether the deal is likely to close, how ownership will change, and what could cancel or alter the payout they expect.
