Hello,
I have a question about the Supervisory Deal Team Lead (SDTL). What are the search and filing obligations if the person primarily responsible for supervising the strategic assessment of the transaction is an officer of the filing person? They would fall outside the definition of an SDTL and their documents would already be potentially responsive. Must an SDTL be named in every filing? If so, how would that be possible in the scenario described?
Thanks in advance.
