The FTC’s Annual HSR Threshold and Filing Fee Increases for 2024

On January 22, 2024, the FTC announced revised Hart-Scott-Rodino Act reporting thresholds and a new tiered filing fee structure, reflecting annual adjustments tied to U.S. GNP and mandates under the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022. Effective March 6, 2024, the changes increase the minimum reportable transaction size to $119.5 million and significantly raise filing fees, underscoring the need for companies to carefully evaluate premerger notification obligations and potential antitrust risk.
