Summary

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a notice regarding the granting of requests for early termination of the waiting period under premerger notification rules. This notice provides information on the FTC's procedures for such requests.

What changed

This notice from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) outlines the administrative procedures for granting early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act's premerger notification rules. It serves as an informational update on how the FTC processes these requests, which allow merging parties to close their transactions before the standard waiting period expires.

While this notice does not impose new obligations or deadlines, companies considering mergers or acquisitions should be aware of the FTC's established process for requesting early termination. Compliance officers should ensure that any such requests made on behalf of their organizations adhere to the outlined procedures to facilitate a smoother review process.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Federal Trade Commission

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, requires persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General advance notice and to wait designated periods before consummation of such plans. Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal Register.

The following transactions were granted early termination—on the dates indicated—of the waiting period provided by law and the premerger notification rules. The listing for each transaction includes the transaction number and the parties to the transaction. The grants were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
