Antitrust News in Five Minutes

After more than a year of planning, public comments, and reconsideration, the FTC published the long-awaited changes to the Hart-Scott-Rodino merger reporting form. They will take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, meaning sometime in mid August. The HSR filing requirements (including the $66 million transaction value) and the exemptions remain unchanged.

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It is not considered to be legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations.
