For business documents prepared by a third party consultant for the Target which were later shared with the acquiring person, is it acceptable to list under the author/title field “(prepared for Target)” in addition to the third party consultant name within the acquiring person’s form?

About Informal Interpretations

Informal interpretations provide guidance from PNO staff on the applicability of the HSR rules to specific fact situations. They do not necessarily reflect the position of the Commission. 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.
