Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Urgent.ly Inc. completed its sale to Agero, Inc. through a tender offer and follow‑on merger. Agero’s subsidiary purchased all tendered Urgent.ly common shares for $5.50 in cash per share, then merged into the company, making Urgent.ly a wholly owned subsidiary of Agero.

Approximately 1,288,914 voting shares, or 58.7% of the outstanding voting stock, were validly tendered, satisfying the minimum condition. At the merger’s effective time, all remaining common shares were converted into the right to receive the same cash price, while vested RSUs and in-the-money options were cancelled and paid out in cash. Out-of-the-money options and a warrant expired without value.

Following closing, there was a formal change in control, the prior board members resigned, and the directors and officers of the Agero acquisition vehicle became the directors and officers of the surviving corporation. Urgent.ly’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were also amended and restated in line with the merger agreement.

Insights

Urgent.ly shareholders are cashed out at $5.50 per share in an Agero buyout.

The transaction gives Urgent.ly investors liquidity at a fixed cash price of $5.50 per share, delivered via a tender offer followed by a Section 251(h) merger. A total of 1,288,914 voting shares, or 58.7% of outstanding voting stock, were tendered, clearing the minimum condition.

All remaining common shares are converted into the right to receive the same cash amount at the merger’s effective time, aligning treatment for non-tendering holders. Equity awards are simplified: RSUs vest and are paid in cash at the offer price and in-the-money options receive cash equal to intrinsic value, while out-of-the-money options and a warrant expire with no consideration.

Governance shifts fully to Agero’s team, with the target’s directors resigning and the acquirer’s directors and officers assuming control as of April 28, 2026. Subsequent company disclosures may describe post-merger integration and any impacts on the surviving corporation’s operations under Agero’s ownership.

tender offer financial
"Purchaser commenced a tender offer to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares"
A tender offer is a proposal made by a person or company to buy shares from existing shareholders at a set price, usually higher than the current market value, within a specific time frame. It matters to investors because it can lead to a change in ownership or control of a company, and shareholders must decide whether to sell their shares at the offered price.
Offer Price financial
"in exchange for $5.50 in cash per Share... (the “Offer Price”)"
The offer price is the amount per share that a company or underwriter sets when selling new stock or bonds to investors, like the price tag on an item in a store. It matters because it determines how much investors must pay, shapes the initial market value of the security, and influences whether demand will be strong or weak — which affects early trading performance and potential returns.
restricted stock unit award financial
"each restricted stock unit award to receive shares of Common Stock (the “Company RSU Awards”)"
A restricted stock unit award is a promise by a company to give an employee a specified number of company shares at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance goals. For investors, these awards matter because they can increase the total number of shares outstanding when converted, diluting existing holders, and they align employees’ incentives with shareholders’ interests much like giving a rising bonus that becomes real only after conditions are satisfied.
Company Option financial
"each option to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company (a “Company Option”)"
Section 251(h) regulatory
"The Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware"
Section 251(h) is a provision in Delaware corporate law that lets a company complete a merger without holding a separate shareholder vote if a prior, qualifying tender offer already secured the required number of shares on the same terms. For investors, it matters because it shortens the timetable and reduces the risk that a merger will be blocked by a follow-up vote—think of it as a shortcut that finalizes a deal once enough stockholders have already agreed.
change in control financial
"As a result of the consummation of the Offer and the Merger, there was a change in control of the Company"
A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed by Urgent.ly, Inc. (the “Company” or “Urgently”) in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 13, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Agero, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), and Medford Hawk, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on March 30, 2026 Purchaser commenced a tender offer to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock” and shares of Common Stock, “Shares”), in exchange for $5.50 in cash per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 30, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal,” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may have been amended or supplemented, constituted the “Offer”).

The Offer expired one minute after 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 25, 2026 (11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on Friday, April 24, 2026). According to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer, a total of 1,288,914 voting Shares were validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 58.7% of the outstanding voting Shares. The number of voting Shares tendered satisfied the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement). All other conditions to the Offer were satisfied and Parent accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer.

Following the consummation of the Offer, the remaining conditions to the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement were satisfied, and on April 28, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Purchaser merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Purchaser ceased and the Company continued as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), with no stockholder vote required.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of Common Stock, (i) each outstanding share of Common Stock, other than any shares of Common Stock (a) held in the treasury of the Company, (b) held by any stockholder who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such rights prior to the Effective Time, or (c) owned by Parent, Purchaser or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent or Purchaser at the commencement of the Offer and owned by Parent, Purchaser or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent or Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price; (ii) each restricted stock unit award to receive shares of Common Stock (the “Company RSU Awards”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was accelerated, became fully vested, and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to withholding for all required taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Offer Price by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award (the “RSU Award Consideration”); and (iii) each option to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company (a “Company Option”) that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was accelerated, became fully vested, and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to withholding for all required taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the amount by which the Offer Price exceeded the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option at the Effective Time (the “Company Option Consideration”). Any Company Option for which the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option was equal to or greater than the Offer Price was cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration payable in respect thereof. As of the Effective Time, all Company RSU Awards and Company Options are no longer outstanding and ceased to exist, and each holder of a Company RSU Award or Company Option, as the case may be, no longer has any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Company RSU Award Consideration or the Company Option Consideration, respectively. In addition, the previously outstanding warrant to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”) expired immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger without any consideration payable in respect of the Warrant.

FAQ

What happened to Urgent.ly (ULY) in the Agero transaction?

Urgent.ly was acquired by Agero through a tender offer and merger, becoming Agero’s wholly owned subsidiary. Shareholders’ common stock was converted into the right to receive $5.50 per share in cash, while prior directors resigned and Agero’s team assumed control of the surviving corporation.

What cash price did Urgent.ly (ULY) shareholders receive in the merger?

Each Urgent.ly common share is entitled to receive $5.50 in cash under the merger terms. This amount, called the Offer Price, is paid net in cash without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding, aligning treatment for both tendering and non‑tendering common stockholders.

How many Urgent.ly (ULY) shares were tendered in the Agero offer?

A total of 1,288,914 voting Urgent.ly shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing about 58.7% of outstanding voting shares. This level of participation satisfied the minimum tender condition, allowing Agero to accept tendered shares and proceed to close the follow‑on merger.

What happened to Urgent.ly (ULY) RSUs and stock options in the merger?

All Urgent.ly restricted stock unit awards vested at the merger’s effective time and were cancelled for a cash payment based on $5.50 per share. In‑the‑money stock options were similarly cancelled for cash equal to intrinsic value, while options with exercise prices at or above $5.50 received no consideration.

Did Urgent.ly (ULY) experience a change in control in this deal?

Yes. The tender offer and subsequent merger resulted in a change in control, with Urgent.ly becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Agero. The pre‑existing board members resigned, and the directors and officers of the Agero acquisition subsidiary became the leadership of the surviving corporation.

What happened to Urgent.ly’s outstanding warrant in the Agero merger?

The previously outstanding warrant to purchase Urgent.ly common stock expired immediately before the merger closed. It did not receive any cash or other consideration, meaning the warrant holder lost the right to acquire shares and did not participate in the $5.50 per share cash payout.
