Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal Register. The following transactions were granted early termination -- on the dates indicated -- of the waiting period provided by law and the premerger notification rules. The listing for each transaction includes the transaction number and the parties to the transaction. The grants were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.

  • Attractive Nuisances in Finance
    DRAFT - please do not cite or circulate Attractive Nuisances in Finance Sung Eun (Summer) Kim1 Abstract Private equity – or the business of pooling funds for investment in other businesses – is one of the largest, fastest-growing and crisis-resilient asset classes in finance. Much of this strength comes from private equity firms’ ability to operate efficiently by eliminating standard investor protections, such as the fiduciary duty of loyalty to investors and investors’ monitoring and voting rights. While this structure is a radical departure from the public company norm, no was harm done as these were private entities marketed exclusively to sophisticated investors and retail investors had little to no opportunity to invest in private equity—until recently. In the last few years, however, a number of private equity firms have gone public, opening the door to less sophisticated retail investors, who are drawn to these publicly-listed private equity firms because of the promise of high returns, despite their high risk. If private equity firms have thrived on their private nature, how will the public version of private equity maintain their competitiveness? In this paper, I review a sample of 46 publicly-listed private equity firms (with a total market capitalization of US$ 106.4 billion) that are traded on the United States stock exchanges to reveal how these publicly-listed private equity, or PLPE, firms have succeeded at “going public” while “staying private.” Incumbent owners of PLPE firms have used complex contracts and availed themselves of various legal and regulatory exceptions to retain most of the private benefits of private equity while spreading the risks and losses to new owners by taking their firms public.
