Beginning on 4 March 2021, transactions valued at more than $92 million may require filing with the antitrust agencies of a Premerger Notification and Report under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act). This is about a 2.1 percent decrease from the current filing threshold of $94 million.
Legislation adopted in 2000 requires the dollar values in the tests used to determine which mergers and acquisitions must be filed with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to be adjusted annually based on changes in the gross national product. The same adjustment factors are also applied to the transaction-size criteria that determine the amount of the filing fee paid in transactions for which a filing is required.
