The collapse of the Grasshopper Bancorp acquisition centers on the company’s decision to pull its filings with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve. While CEO Steve Cunningham cited unclear regulatory standards for nonbanks, legal representatives are now scrutinizing whether Enova management provided accurate disclosures regarding the status and risks of these applications prior to the September 14 announcement.
Enova International Faces Investor Probe Following Failed Bank Acquisition
Enova International shares plummeted 22.27% overnight on September 15, 2026, after the company abruptly abandoned its $369 million bid to acquire Grasshopper Bancorp. The sudden withdrawal of regulatory applications, confirmed by CEO Steve Cunningham, has triggered a formal investigation into whether shareholders were misled about the deal's viability.
Legal firm Levi & Korsinsky LLP, operating under the SueWallSt banner, is conducting an investigation into potential securities violations. The inquiry focuses on statements made by the company between the initial transaction announcement in December 2025 and the withdrawal of the regulatory filings. Investors who held Enova stock during this period, regardless of whether they have since sold their positions, are being evaluated for potential recovery of losses. The firm emphasizes that eligibility for the investigation is based on documented financial impact rather than current share ownership, with no upfront costs for participants.
