Event Synopsis:
On August 26, 2016 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved the final amendments to the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Premerger Notification Rules, which went into effect on September 1, 2016. The updates streamline instructions to the Premerger Notification Form and allow DVD submission of HSR filings, potentially making it easier for parties to file. Other recent HSR developments include further guidance on 4(c)/(d) documents, foreign entities, and a recent change in position regarding calculation of the size of transaction in LBO transactions.
These and other HSR updates and developments should be carefully analyzed by companies to ensure compliance and avert serious consequences – whether delays for caused by incomplete or incorrect filings, or penalties related to failures to file. In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the significant Hart-Scott-Rodino updates and developments in 2016 and will provide a comprehensive outlook for the year ahead. Speakers will also provide expert insights on the best HSR reporting practices.
Key topics include:
· The Hart-Scott-Rodino Act – An Overview
· Changes to HSR Instructions
· Recent Informal Interpretations of Note
· Scenarios that May Unexpectedly Result in Filing Obligations
· Recent Enforcement Actions
· Best Compliance Practices
