Revised Thresholds for HSR

In an annual ritual, the FTC has announced the revised amounts for the thresholds under Section 7A Clayton Act and the HSR rules. The thresholds are indexed and revised each year. Here is a summary of the adjusted thresholds:

$10 million is adjusted to $12 million; $50 million is adjusted to $59.8 million; $100 million is adjusted to $119.6 million; $110 millionĀ  is adjusted to $131.5 million; $200 million is adjusted to $239.2 million; $500 million is adjusted to $597.9 million; and $1 billion is adjusted to $1,195.8 million.

The thresholds for the interlocking-directorates provision in Section 8 Clayton Act (remember Section 8?) were also adjusted: The new thresholds are $24,001,000 for Section 8(a)(1) and $2,400,100 for Section 8(a)(2)(A). Changes become effective 30 days after publication for HSR, and upon publication for Section 8. More information can be found on the FTC’s website.
