CSG Systems Advances Toward Acquisition by NEC Corporation

CSG Systems International ( (CSGS) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On October 29, 2025, CSG Systems International, Inc. entered into a merger agreement with Japan’s NEC Corporation under which a wholly owned NEC subsidiary, Canvas Transaction Company, Inc., will merge with CSG, leaving CSG as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC. The transaction cleared a key regulatory hurdle when the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on January 5, 2026, though the closing still depends on additional regulatory approvals, majority shareholder approval of the merger agreement, and other customary conditions, marking continued progress toward CSG’s planned acquisition and integration into NEC’s global operations.
