特拉华最高法院维持原判：Verisk须继续推进23.5亿美元收购AccuLynx交易
特拉华州最高法院10月23日维持衡平法院原判，认定数据分析公司 Verisk 不当放弃了对屋顶软件公司 AccuLynx 价值23.5亿美元的收购交易，Verisk 仍有义务继续推进该交易。Verisk 当日发表声明称，公司尊重特拉华州最高法院维持衡平法院判决的命令，将按命令推进，但交易仍须满足常规交割条件并通过联邦贸易委员会的反垄断审查，不保证交易一定完成。
Verisk 总部位于新泽西州泽西市，是全球保险业的数据分析与技术合作伙伴；AccuLynx 为屋顶承包商提供业务管理软件。特拉华州衡平法院今年8月裁定 Verisk 无正当理由终止并购协议，Verisk 随后上诉至州最高法院，23日的裁决意味着公司必须继续寻求监管批准，并在获批后完成交割。
Verisk 在声明中强调，将继续专注于服务保险业客户并为股东创造长期价值。

Delaware Supreme Court Affirms: Verisk Must Move Forward With $2.35 Billion AccuLynx Deal
The Delaware Supreme Court on October 23 affirmed the Court of Chancery's judgment that data analytics company Verisk wrongfully abandoned its $2.35 billion acquisition of roofing software company AccuLynx, and that Verisk remains obligated to move forward with the transaction. In a statement the same day, Verisk said it respects the Supreme Court's order affirming the Chancery Court judgment and will proceed in accordance with it, while noting the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and Federal Trade Commission antitrust review, with no guarantee it will be completed.
Verisk, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, is a data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry; AccuLynx provides business management software for roofing contractors. The Court of Chancery ruled in August that Verisk had no valid basis to terminate the merger agreement, and Verisk appealed to the state Supreme Court; the October 23 ruling means the company must continue seeking regulatory approval and close the deal if approved.
Verisk said it remains focused on serving insurance industry clients and delivering long-term value for shareholders.
