The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has implemented new rules regarding premerger notification requirements, following a unanimous vote. The updated HSR (Hart-Scott-Rodino) rules, which were influenced by FTC officials M. Holyoak and A. Ferguson, include significant changes such as the introduction of a large merger tax and the reduction of labor-related provisions. Experts from law firms like Paul Hastings and Fox Rothschild are advising businesses to prepare for these changes. Additionally, the FTC has expressed its disagreement with the Hospital Association concerning the final HSR rule. The revisions to the HSR form have also been released by the FTC and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
