Agero has agreed to acquire Urgent.ly Inc for $5.50 per share in cash via a tender offer. This offer represents a 170.94% premium to the stock’s closing price on Friday. The tender offer and acquisition are expected to close by the end of May 2026. Following the tender offer, Urgent.ly Inc will merge with a subsidiary of Agero and all shares not tendered will be converted to the right to receive $5.50 in cash.

Agero is a private company, which means that Urgent.ly Inc will also become private after the deal. As a result, shares of ULY stock will stop trading on the Nasdaq exchange once the deal is complete. With the premium being well above ULY’s prior trading price, this also represents a significant cash payout for investors in the company.
