The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2023, subject to approval by Crystal Clean stockholders and the expiration of the HSR Antitrust Improvements Act waiting period.

Heritage-Crystal Clean is set to be acquired by J.F. Lehman & Company for $1.2 billion. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2023, after which HCCI will become a privately held company and delist from Nasdaq.
The news of the acquisition and subsequent delisting from Nasdaq is directly relevant to HCCI and its shareholders. The lack of competing bids during the 'go-shop' period solidifies the acquisition by J.F. Lehman & Company. This will likely lead to a short-term increase in stock price as shareholders look to sell before the company goes private, but ultimately the stock will cease to exist on the public market.
