Summary
RE/MAX Holdings received early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period from the Department of Justice on July 13, 2026, clearing the antitrust review for its pending merger with The Real Brokerage Inc. This removes a major regulatory condition to closing the transaction, though the deal remains subject to stockholder approvals from both companies and other customary closing conditions. The proxy statement/prospectus was declared effective July 9 and is being distributed to shareholders for their votes.
The HSR filing timeline included a voluntary withdrawal and refiling in mid-June, which reset the waiting period clock—a procedural step that can provide additional time for regulatory review or to address information requests. The early termination indicates the DOJ found no competitive concerns requiring extended review or a second request for information. For RE/MAX shareholders, the focus now shifts to the stockholder vote and satisfaction of remaining closing conditions.
