IMXI International Money Express Inc.

$IMXI "Possible" excitement building here with over 6% gain......short interest has dropped to below 6% (from above 8%) and volume is up today. Oversold below $9? Maybe. Deal finalizing FINALLY? Maybe. Fingers crossed. I am ready regardless for something to be announced....I am feeling a bit similar to how I did prior to Aug 14th rally......

$IMXI Some history may help: Friday Aug 8th 2025 - IMXI closed at $9.28; Sunday Aug 11th 2025 - WU announces deal to acquire IMXI for $16; Monday Aug 12th 2025 - IMXI hits $15.90 or around 71% gain; Thursday Aug 13th 2026 - IMXI closed at $11.70; Friday Aug 14th 2026 - IMXI hit $14.61 or about 25% gain after New York approved deal; Today Oct 22nd 2026 - IMXI closed at $9.51 and the arbitrage gap is around 70% due to insane regulatory process delays & Nov 10th walk date approaching. So a 70% and 25% arbitrage gain can happen again! Both companies re-affirmed in early October 2026 the deal intent & the whole financial/gov/SEC world has approved this deal, & California is just "re-approving it now". I am still optimistic that the deal will go through in time or WU & IMXI will agree to another extension.....if not, then other forces are at play here beyond our scope/knowledge. Hopefully WU will provide some kind of status update soon......

$IMXI Let's connect the dots here on possible outcomes on this now MASSIVE 55% arbitrage deal: (1) Nov 10th walk deadline comes without re-approvals/any done deal & deal falls apart, (2) California DFPI re-approves deal & SEC re-approves anti-trust review & deal goes through by Nov 10th, (3) Both WU & IMXI approve new possible extension of Nov 10th walk deadline & deal re-approval efforts continue, (4) WU and IMXI decide to abandon deal/pay penalties & seek other path, or (5) Hidden motives are at play here by bad players trying to delay/kill this deal (as possibly evidenced by the "sudden" August 13th California DFPI approval reversal within hours of New York's approval). My opinion is that all involved lose, to include California, if this deal falls apart after 14+ months of work. Option #5 could sadly be the case, though. I am still optimistic for option #2 or #3 being in play, but #4 is possible now. The 175 year old WU know this environment well, that is for sure.

$IMXI Intermex closed down 14.2% Monday at 10.87. Western Union agreed to buy it for 16 a share in cash, back in August 2025. Monday's leg down was a CTFN report on the California holdup. The DFPI suspended its approval extension in August, and CTFN says that may trace to new leadership at the agency overseeing it, Rohit Chopra, sworn in July 1, rather than California trying to copy New York's concessions. The calendar is tight now. The parties refiled their HSR notice on Oct. 2, starting a fresh 30-day clock, and Nov. 6 is a walk date, either side can exit with no penalty. At 10.87 the stock sits about 32% below the deal price. Standalone, Q2 revenue was 131 million dollars, down 18.6% YoY.

$IMXI There's was just some good news for that Western Union and Money Express had done some work together. This news happening now, near October 16th option expiry, seems selfish. We already knew that California department of financial protections and innovation had paused the approval.

$IMXI the California fdpi approval of this company being suspended by themselves and their re-approving process seems to normally take a few months. Meaning it looks like they're going to approve it by January 2027

$IMXI if the deal closes this company is bought for $16 per share. If it doesn't they supposedly get 27.3 million dollars. That combined with good earnings to send this over $16 per share
