The Federal Trade Commission has finalized updates to premerger notification requirements for healthcare companies, increasing the information needed for merger and acquisition reviews. This change, the first in 45 years, aims to enhance antitrust assessments amid rising deal complexity, despite pushback from the American Hospital Association, which criticized the increased reporting burden as excessive. The new rules will take effect 90 days after publication in the federal register.
The FTC has finalized new premerger reporting requirements for healthcare companies, mandating more detailed submissions regarding competition, business plans, and minority stakeholders. This marks the first update to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act notification form in nearly 50 years, with the agency estimating compliance will require an average of 105 hours per response. The changes aim to enhance scrutiny of mergers, particularly those involving private equity, as the agency seeks to address concerns over diminished competition from serial acquisitions.
