As previously announced, on August 10, 2025, The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, International Money Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IMXI”), and Ivey Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into IMXI (the “Merger”), with IMXI continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Among other things, the consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). At 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 6, 2025, the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger expired. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to obtaining other regulatory approvals, the approval by IMXI’s stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions.
On October 7, 2025, the Company and IMXI issued a joint press release announcing the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
