Copart's $10.50-a-share cash bid for ACV Auctions is down to the wire. About 52.8% of ACV shares were tendered by Oct 7, above the 50% minimum, and the US antitrust waiting period was due to end late Oct 13. Offer expires Oct 15 unless extended.

> **Why it matters** The deal values ACV at about $1.9 billion and would fold a digital used-car marketplace into the online auction leader. The share minimum looks met, so the remaining hurdle is US antitrust clearance, and the deadline has already been pushed back once.

> **What we verified** Copart's Oct 8 release (via Stock Titan) and MLex agree the tender was extended to 5pm ET Oct 15 and that the HSR waiting period was due to expire at 11:59pm ET Oct 13. The 52.84% tendered figure (90.2M shares as of Oct 7) is from the release. We found no confirmation yet of whether the waiting period ended or a further request was issued.
