Verisk Analytics v. AccuLynx: Sorry, you actually DO have to comply with that Second Request

The Delaware Court of Chancery ordered Verisk Analytics to continue pursuing FTC clearance for its $2.35 billion acquisition of AccuLynx, requiring full compliance with the FTC's costly Second Request despite Verisk's prior attempt to terminate the deal. The court found Verisk's willful conduct in ceasing negotiations with a competitor triggered the more intensive FTC review process, invalidating the deal termination under the merger agreement's terms.
