More guidance coming soon, but the FTC has published the Final Rule changing HSR filings. The changes are not as extensive as originally proposed, but still significant. #FTC #Antitrust #HSR
FTC final rule on HSR filings could add up to 121 hours of prep time for M&A transactions starting in 2025. Key changes include expanded document and ownership disclosures. #HSRFiling #AntitrustLaw #FTCUpdates akerman.com/en/perspective…
Missing HSR filings can result in huge penalties, no matter how voting securities are acquired. Stay informed and avoid the risk. #HSRCompliance #AntitrustLaw akerman.com/en/perspective…
