On Friday, January 27, 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
announced the revised "size of
transaction" thresholds for 2018 for reporting proposed
mergers and acquisitions under Section 7A of the Clayton Act, as
added by the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976 (15 U.S.C. § 18a).
Under the size-of-transaction thresholds for 2018, parties must
file the required HSR notification with the FTC and U.S. Department
of Justice (DOJ) for all transactions valued above $337.6 million.
Parties to transactions valued between $84.4 million and $337.6
million must also file the required HSR notification with the FTC
and DOJ if they meet the "size of parties" threshold. For
2018, the size-of-parties thresholds will increase to $16.9 million
and $168.8 million.
The FTC adjusts these thresholds annually based on changes in
gross national product. The new thresholds will become effective on
February 28, 2018, and will apply to all transactions that close on
or after that effective date.
