·Finance
This market will resolve to “Yes” if GFL Environmental announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement with any third-party to take the company under completely private ownership by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying agreement must provide for the acquisition of 100% of GFL Environmental Inc.'s outstanding publicly traded equity, such that GFL's shares would cease to be listed on public exchanges. A share repurchase or buyback program will only qualify if it is part of a definitive agreement resulting in the acquisition of 100% of GFL's publicly traded equity and the delisting of its shares. A merger with or acquisition by another company in which GFL shareholders receive publicly listed equity, or in which GFL or its successor remains publicly traded, will not qualify. Letters of intent, memoranda of understanding, announcements of exploration of options, offers, negotiations, or other non-definitive actions will not qualify. Agreements covering only a portion of the company will not qualify. A qualifying announcement of a definitive agreement occurring within the specified timeframe will qualify regardless of whether the deal closes or is later withdrawn. The resolution source for this market will be official announcements from GFL Environmental.
