On October 10, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) (the Antitrust Agencies) finalized and released significant updates to the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) premerger notification form. The updates are expected to go into effect on February 10, 2025, 90 days after their publication in the Federal Register, which occurred on November 12, 2024.
These changes represent the most sweeping adjustments to HSR reporting requirements in nearly 50 years and will substantially increase the preparation time and expense for parties engaging in notifiable transactions.
