Premerger Notification; Reporting and Waiting Period Requirements

Zusammenfassung

The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") is proposing amendments to the premerger notification rules ("the Rules") that implement the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act ("the Act" or "HSR") to change the definition of "person" and create a new exemption. The Commission also proposes explanatory and ministerial changes to the Rules, as well as necessary amendments to the HSR Form and Instructions to effect the proposed changes.
