On January 10, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced revised jurisdictional thresholds for determining whether a proposed transaction must be reported to federal authorities under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) pre-merger notification statute. In addition to approving new HSR filing thresholds, the FTC also announced new merger filing fee thresholds and amounts, as required pursuant to the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act. The new thresholds are set to be published in the Federal Register and will apply to all transactions closing on or after 30 days after the date of publication.

As a result of the revision:

  • The $119.5 million minimum transaction value filing threshold has increased to $126.4 million.
