Subject: HSR interpretation
HI Mike - I would appreciate your guidance on the following fact pattern:
Facts: A and B wish to engage in a business combination. A will be merged with and into B and shareholders of A and B will be ginven shares of C - the consolidated entity. Neither A nor B are $100 million persons, But C will have in excess of $100 after the consolidation. Issue: I believe there would be no filing obligation for the consolidation as there is no $100 person. Assuming however, that shareholders of A and B are $10 million persons, and the investment only exemption is not available, would shareholders of A and or B have a filing obligation in their acquisition of shares of C?
Thanks,
