HSR clearance moves the PROS go-private deal closer to closing, but stockholder approval is still required.

PROS Holdings, Inc. has cleared an important regulatory step for its merger with Portofino Parent, LLC, as the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust waiting period expired effective 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 24, 2025. This satisfies one of the conditions required before the merger can close, removing a key U.S. antitrust timing obstacle.

The company emphasizes that the transaction remains subject to other closing conditions, notably adoption of the merger agreement by PROS stockholders. The company expects completion of the merger in the fourth quarter of 2025, but also lists multiple risks that could delay, alter, or prevent closing, including potential termination of the merger agreement and legal proceedings.

From an investor perspective, this update mainly confirms regulatory progress rather than changing the economic terms of the deal. The next critical milestone highlighted is the stockholder vote described in the definitive proxy statement mailed beginning on or about November 3, 2025, which will determine whether the merger agreement is adopted.
