Clearwater Analytics reports that Australia’s Treasurer approved its merger with GT Silver BidCo under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act, effective June 19, 2026. The company now indicates all regulatory approvals required to close the merger have been obtained.

Merger structure Merger Sub into Clearwater; Clearwater survives Company to become wholly owned subsidiary of GT Silver BidCo
Agreement and Plan of Merger financial
"entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GT Silver BidCo"
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.
Foreign Investment Review Board regulatory
"must be notified to the Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) for approval"
A foreign investment review board is a government body that screens inward foreign investments to decide whether they are allowed, need conditions, or should be blocked because of national interest, security, or competition concerns. For investors, this gatekeeper can change the timing, cost, or even the feasibility of a deal—like a security checkpoint that can clear, delay, or impose restrictions on a planned transaction.
Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 regulatory
"approval by the Australian Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 of Australia"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
termination fee financial
"including in circumstances which would require the Company to pay a termination fee"
A termination fee is a payment required if one party ends a contract before its agreed-upon end date. It acts like a penalty or compensation to the other party for canceling early, similar to a fee you might pay for breaking a lease or canceling a service contract. For investors, it matters because it can influence a company's decisions and financial obligations related to ending agreements prematurely.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously announced, on December 20, 2025, Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GT Silver BidCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and GT Silver Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval by the Australian Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 of Australia, as amended, pursuant to which certain acquisitions by foreign persons of Australian companies, businesses and real property assets, including the Merger, must be notified to the Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) for approval. Approval by the Australian Treasurer pursuant to the FIRB approval process was granted effective June 19, 2026. The Company has now obtained all required regulatory approvals that are conditions to the closing of the Merger. The Merger (the “Proposed Transaction”) is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s expectations with respect to the Proposed Transaction, including the timing thereof, and the Company’s possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy, competitive position, industry, economic and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “aim,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s current expectations and include, but are not limited to: risks related to the Proposed Transaction, including (i) the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; (ii) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction may not be satisfied or waived; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive transaction agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction, including in circumstances which would require the Company to pay a termination fee; (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Transaction on the Company’s ability to attract, motivate or retain key executives and associates, its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, vendors, service providers and others with whom it does business, or its operating results and business generally; (v) risks related to the Proposed Transaction diverting management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations; (vi) the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the Proposed Transaction, including resulting expense or delay; (vii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Proposed Transaction that may impact the Company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (viii) risks that the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction are not realized when and as expected; (ix) the availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions in connection with the Proposed Transaction; and (x) other risks and uncertainties detailed in the

Company’s periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on February 18, 2026 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2026) and in other periodic reports filed by the Company with the SEC. These filings are available at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the time they are made. The Company does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
