Response/Comments

HSR filings are exempt from public disclosure by the Clayton Act, Sec. 7A, 15 U.S.C. 18a(h). Other than the early termination notices, the Premerger Office and the Antitrust Division’s Premerger Unit cannot provide any information as to whether or not a filing has been made.

Subject: HSR Pre-merger Filings

Hello,

I am trying to determine if a company filed an HSR for a potential merger. If so, is there somewhere where I can access those filings?

About Informal Interpretations

Informal interpretations provide guidance from previous staff interpretations on the applicability of the HSR rules to specific fact situations. You should not rely on them as a substitute for reading the Act and the Rules themselves. These materials do not, and are not intended to, constitute legal advice.
