The Apex team is excited to join forces to be able to expand its product capabilities and move into other industries that were always on our roadmap, but were limited by resources,” said Randall Garrett, CEO of Apex, “By integrating our platforms and leveraging ILA’s machine learning expertise, we will be able to capitalize on a gap that exists in the market.”The Transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including, but not limited to closing of the Offering (defined below), regulatory approvals and the satisfactory completion of due diligence by ILA.
