This Schedule 14D-9 filing consists of certain communications relating to the proposed acquisition of Open Lending Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by ANV Group Holdings Ltd., a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 15, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Lakers Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding shares (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) and, as soon as practicable following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

This Schedule 14D-9 filing consists of the following documents relating to the Offer and the Merger:

The materials listed above were first used or made available on June 16, 2026.

The information set forth under Items 1.01, 7.01 and 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 16, 2026 (including all exhibits attached thereto) is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Offer has not yet commenced. This document is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell Open Lending’s securities, nor is it a substitute for the Offer materials that Parent and Merger Sub will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) upon commencement of the Offer. A solicitation and offer to buy shares of Open Lending’s common stock will only be made pursuant to the Offer materials that Parent and Merger Sub intend to file with the SEC. At the time the Offer is commenced, Parent and Merger Sub will file Offer materials on Schedule TO with the SEC, and Open Lending will thereafter file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the Offer. THE OFFER MATERIALS (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CERTAIN OTHER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES THERETO. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE (AND EACH AS IT MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME) BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF OPEN LENDING SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING TENDERING THEIR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE OFFER. The Offer materials (including the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal), as well as the solicitation/recommendation statement, will be made available to all stockholders of Open Lending at no expense to them at Open Lending’s website at www.openlending.com and (once they become available) will be mailed to Open Lending’s stockholders free of charge. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, Open Lending’s website is not a part of, or incorporated by reference herein. The Offer materials (including the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal), as well as the solicitation/recommendation statement, will also be made available for free on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Open Lending also files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read any reports, statements or other information filed by Open Lending with the SEC for free on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document, including the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein, contains forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Generally, these statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” or “continue,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements made herein with respect to the Offer, the Merger and related transactions, including, for example, the anticipated timing of the completion of the Offer and the Merger and the potential benefits of the Merger, reflect management’s current analysis of existing information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date they are made. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, including due to the following factors, among others: (i) uncertainties as to the timing of the Offer and the Merger; (ii) uncertainties as to how many Company stockholders will tender their Shares in the Offer; (iii) the possibility that competing acquisition proposals will be made; (iv) the possibility that the Company will terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an alternative transaction; (v) the possibility that various closing conditions for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be satisfied or waived; (vi) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (vii) the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed transactions on the Company’s relationships, including with employees, business partners and customers; (viii) the risk of actual or threatened litigation in connection with the Offer and Merger; and (ix) the other factors and financial, operational and legal risks or uncertainties described in the Company’s public filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the tender offer materials filed and to be filed by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the Offer and the solicitation/recommendation statement to be filed by the Company. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
