Thomson Reuters Westlaw has published the article “FTC revises HSR thresholds; minimum size for reportable transactions increases to $94 million,” written by Akin Gump antitrust partners Corey Roush and C. Fairley Spillman and senior counsel Stacy Kobrick. First published as an Akin Gump client alert, the article discusses a recent announcement by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that revises “the size thresholds governing premerger notification requirements under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.”

The authors write that the new thresholds will apply to transactions consummated on or after the effective date of February 27, 2020. The FTC decision, they note, also adjusts the size-of-person threshold as well as the tiered filing fee structure.
