Hart-Scott-Rodino Notification Thresholds

Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Notification Thresholds are legal limits set by the U.S. government to regulate large mergers and acquisitions. When companies plan a significant deal that exceeds these specified financial thresholds, they must formally notify the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice before completing the transaction. The purpose is to allow government agencies to review the deal for potential antitrust concerns and prevent anti-competitive practices. These thresholds are updated annually based on inflation, ensuring that only substantial transactions require review.
