Copart to buy ACV Auctions in $1.9B cash deal
Copart plans an all-cash, $10.50-per-share tender offer for ACV worth about $1.9 billion, aiming to close by year-end 2026 with ACV as an independent subsidiary.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Copart, Inc. (CPRT) announced a definitive agreement to acquire ACV Auctions Inc. through a cash tender offer at $10.50 per share, implying an equity value of about $1.9 billion. A wholly owned Copart subsidiary will launch the offer to acquire all outstanding ACV common shares, followed by a back-end merger under Section 251(h) of Delaware law so ACV becomes a wholly owned subsidiary.
The offer requires at least a majority of ACV shares (including any already owned by Copart and its subsidiary), expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, absence of blocking injunctions, and other customary conditions, and is not subject to any financing condition. At closing, ACV stockholders will receive $10.50 in cash per share in both the tender offer and the subsequent merger. In-the-money vested stock options will be cashed out, underwater options will be cancelled, and unvested options, RSUs and PSUs will convert into Copart equity awards using an Exchange Ratio; certain director and former-service-provider RSUs will fully vest for cash. Copart plans to fund the transaction entirely with cash on hand and expects closing by calendar year-end 2026, after which ACV will operate as an independent subsidiary with its existing leadership team.
Positive
- Strategic expansion into digital wholesale as Copart adds ACV’s dealer-to-dealer marketplace and technology platform, creating a more complete vehicle remarketing offering across dealer wholesale, commercial remarketing and salvage.
- All-cash deal with no financing condition, funded from Copart’s cash on hand, preserves certainty of funding and leaves balance sheet flexibility for additional organic and inorganic investments.
- Financial upside targeted, with Copart stating the acquisition is expected to be EPS neutral in the first full year of ownership and accretive in fiscal 2028 and beyond, alongside meaningful anticipated cost and revenue synergies.
- Attractive acquisition premiums for ACV shareholders, with the $10.50 per-share price reflecting an approximately 45% premium to ACV’s unaffected closing price on August 10, 2026 and about 41% to its 30-day VWAP.
Negative
- Completion and regulatory risk, since the tender offer and merger are conditioned on a majority tender, expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, and absence of injunctions, with explicit disclosure that the transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all.
- Potential cash termination payment by Copart of up to $115.3 million to ACV under specified regulatory or injunction-related circumstances if the merger agreement is terminated, creating downside cost exposure if the transaction fails.
- Integration and execution risks, as Copart highlights uncertainties around realizing anticipated cost and revenue synergies, integrating ACV’s business and technology, and possible stockholder litigation, any of which could affect future financial results.
Filing Explained
ACV would become a Copart subsidiary only if the unlaunched cash offer and subsequent merger satisfy their stated conditions.

Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On September 10, 2026, ACV Auctions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ACV”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Copart, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Apple Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, Parent will cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) within 5 business days following the date of the Merger Agreement if practicable (and in any event no later than 7 business days after the date of the Merger Agreement) to acquire all of ACV’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ACV Stock”), for $10.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes (the “Offer Price”). The Offer will remain open for a minimum of 10 business days from the date of commencement.
The obligation of Merger Sub to purchase shares of ACV Stock tendered in the Offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) shares of ACV Stock having been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn that represent, together with the shares then owned by Parent and Merger Sub, at least one share more than 50% of the shares of the ACV Stock outstanding at the expiration time of the Offer (the “Minimum Condition”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the Offer and the Merger (as defined below) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of any injunction or other order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction where ACV and its Subsidiaries have material business operations prohibiting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger and (iv) other customary conditions set forth in Annex I of the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Offer is not subject to any financing condition.
As soon as practicable after (and in no event later than the business day following) the time at which shares of ACV Stock are first accepted for payment and paid for under the Offer, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ACV, with ACV surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law without any additional stockholder approvals.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of ACV Stock (other than treasury shares held by ACV and any shares of ACV Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any person who is entitled to and properly demands statutory appraisal of his or her shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest (“Merger Consideration”), subject to any required withholding taxes.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of ACV Stock (“Stock Options”) which is vested and has a per share exercise price less than the Merger Consideration will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to (x) the number of shares of ACV Stock subject to such Stock Option multiplied by (y) the excess of (A) the Offer Price over (B) the applicable per share exercise price of the Stock Option subject to any required withholding taxes. Each outstanding Stock Option that is vested and has a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be canceled for no consideration.
At the Effective Time, each unvested outstanding Stock Option will be converted into an option to acquire, a number of shares of common stock of Parent (a “Converted Stock Option”) determined by multiplying the number of such Stock Options by the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), at an exercise price per share of common stock of Parent equal to the exercise price per share of such Stock Option divided by the Exchange Ratio.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of ACV Stock that is or was subject to vesting conditions based solely on continued employment or service (each, a “Restricted Stock Unit”), that is held by a non-employee member of the board of directors or by any former service provider of ACV will be fully vested (to the extent unvested), and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, subject to any required withholding taxes.
At the Effective Time, each other Restricted Stock Unit will be converted into a restricted stock unit award, with respect to a number of shares of common stock of Parent (a “Converted RSU”) determined by multiplying the number of shares of ACV Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Unit by the Exchange Ratio.
At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of ACV Stock that includes performance-based vesting conditions (each, a “Performance Stock Unit”) will be converted into a restricted stock unit award, with respect to a number of shares of common stock of Parent (a “Converted PSU”) determined by multiplying the number of shares of ACV Stock subject to such Performance Stock Unit based on the greater of target and actual performance (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors in its discretion) by the Exchange Ratio.
The Converted Stock Options, Converted RSUs and Converted PSUs will remain subject to the same terms and conditions (other than applicable performance goals) that applied immediately prior to the Effective Time.
ACV’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) will terminate on the earlier of the first purchase date following the date of the Merger Agreement and the tenth trading day prior to Effective Time, in each case subsequent to the exercise of purchase rights under the ESPP on such purchase date.
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature, including an agreement that, subject to certain exceptions, the parties will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Offer and the Merger to be consummated. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, ACV has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and has agreed to certain other negative operating covenants, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement also contains a “no-shop” provision that, in general, restricts ACV’s ability to (i) solicit, facilitate or encourage the making of Acquisition Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any inquiries regarding Acquisition Proposals from third parties or (ii) provide information to or engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal. The no shop provision is subject to a “fiduciary out” provision that allows ACV, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations, to provide information and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to unsolicited third-party acquisition proposals that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and, subject to compliance with certain obligations, to terminate the Merger Agreement and accept a Superior Proposal upon payment to Parent of the termination fee discussed below.
The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both ACV and Parent, and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including a termination by ACV, to accept and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, ACV will pay Parent a termination fee of $57,700,000. Additionally, Parent, under specified circumstances, including termination following an injunction arising in connection with the HSR Act or a Competition Law, or failure to satisfy the HSR Condition or the Injunction Condition by the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be required to pay ACV a termination fee of $115,300,000.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the Merger Agreement has been included to provide ACV’s stockholders and other security holders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any factual information about ACV or Parent. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by ACV’s stockholders or other security holders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties
in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to ACV’s stockholders or other security holders. ACV’s stockholders or other security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement (except with respect to ACV’s stockholders or other security holders’ right to receive the Merger Consideration following the Effective Time) and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of ACV, Parent or Merger Sub. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in ACV’s or Parent’s public disclosures.
Support Agreement
Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, certain holders of ACV Stock, entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent (the “Support Stockholders”). The Support Stockholders agreed, among other things, (i) to tender all of their shares of ACV Stock in the Offer, (ii) to vote all such shares in favor of the Merger (if applicable), and (iii) to certain restrictions on their ability to take actions with respect to ACV and ACV Stock. The Support Stockholders beneficially owned approximately 4.1% of outstanding ACV Stock as of September 8, 2026. The Support Agreement terminates upon the earliest of termination of the Merger Agreement, the Effective Time, adverse modifications to the Offer, ACV’s board changing its recommendation, or mutual written consent.
The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Support Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

| • | Combination creates a full-spectrum, digital vehicle remarketing platform spanning dealer trade-ins, wholesale remarketing, salvage disposition, and international resale |

DALLAS, TEXAS AND BUFFALO, NEW YORK, September 10, 2026 – Copart, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT), a global leader in online vehicle auctions, and ACV (NYSE: ACVA), a leading digital automotive marketplace and data services partner for dealers and commercial clients, today announced a definitive agreement under which Copart will acquire all outstanding shares of ACV common stock for $10.50 per share in cash, representing an implied equity value of approximately $1.9 billion. The per-share purchase price represents a premium of approximately 45% to ACV’s unaffected closing stock price on August 10, 2026 (the last trading day prior to published media reports regarding a potential transaction involving ACV) and a premium of approximately 41% to ACV’s 30-day volume-weighted average price for the period ending September 9, 2026.
The addition of ACV’s market-leading digital wholesale platform for vehicle resale creates a new growth vector for Copart, extending its reach with dealer-to-dealer wholesale remarketing and strengthening its position across the full vehicle lifecycle. Copart will leverage its global buyer network and physical infrastructure, including more than 250 locations, which will support ACV’s scalable commercial wholesale platform and national buyer and inspector network to further grow the combined company’s marketplace.
“This acquisition reflects a significant milestone in our growth strategy by creating an industry-leading end-to-end vehicle remarketing platform that is fully digital,” said Jay Adair, Chief Executive Officer of Copart. “ACV has built a differentiated, technology-driven marketplace that perfectly complements our extensive physical infrastructure and expansive buyer network. With ACV, we are uniquely positioned to drive efficiency and productivity throughout the entire automotive ecosystem, bringing greater transparency and superior economic outcomes to our customers for every vehicle, regardless of its condition. Copart has strong momentum, and this acquisition fits squarely within our growth pillars, including domestic whole-car expansion and technology-enabled services, as we continue to invest in our business on behalf of our customers.”
“ACV’s mission has been to transform the automotive industry by building the most trusted and efficient digital marketplace and data solutions for sourcing, selling, and managing used vehicles,” said George Chamoun, Chief Executive Officer of ACV. “By joining forces with Copart, we will be positioned to advance our mission, drive market expansion, and accelerate innovation with global scale. Together, we will deliver even more value to our dealer and commercial partners by offering expanded capabilities, including leveraging Copart’s nationwide footprint and a combined demand engine that ensures the right vehicle gets to the right buyer. I am deeply grateful to our team, whose tremendous work and creativity have fueled ACV’s market leadership, and we look forward to working with Jay and the Copart team in this exciting next chapter.”
Strategic and Financial Benefits
| • | Establishes an industry-leading, fully complete remarketing platform: The combined company will participate across the vehicle lifecycle, from dealer trade-ins and wholesale remarketing to salvage disposition and international resale. Copart and ACV together will have one of the industry’s largest vehicle condition datasets, allowing the combined company to deliver better experiences across its customer base. |
| • | Generates significant commercial opportunities with an expanded portfolio: ACV’s complementary position in the dealer-to-dealer auction channel will create strong growth opportunities for the combined company, including cross-selling buyers and sellers and expanding transportation services and commercial vehicle operations. |
| • | Deepens technology services and AI capabilities: ACV brings innovative dealer-focused inspection technology, condition data, and AI-powered valuation tools. These will strengthen Copart’s existing products and services to create a differentiated vehicle-data platform. |
| • | Delivers meaningful cost synergies and accretion: The combined company expects to realize near-term cost and revenue synergies across dealer, commercial, and retail channels. The transaction is expected to be neutral on Copart’s earnings per share in the first full year of ownership and accretive in fiscal 2028 and beyond. |
Transaction Details
Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Copart, through a subsidiary, will promptly commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of ACV common stock for $10.50 per share in cash. The consummation of the tender offer is subject to the tender of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of ACV common stock, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary conditions. Following the successful completion of the tender offer, a subsidiary of Copart will merge with ACV, and any remaining shares of ACV common stock not tendered will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same $10.50 per share in cash paid in the tender offer.
Copart intends to fund the transaction through cash on hand, maintaining sufficient balance sheet flexibility to continue pursuing organic and inorganic investments. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition.
The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close by calendar year-end 2026.
Following the close of the transaction, ACV will operate as an independent subsidiary of Copart led by ACV’s existing leadership team.
Earnings Announcement and Conference Call Details
In a separate release issued today, Copart reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026.
