The Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act thresholds, which determine whether mergers and acquisitions must be reported to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), will increase by nearly 6% in February 2025. The key minimum “size-of-transaction” threshold will increase from $119.5 million to $126.4 million. These annual adjustments, announced by the FTC on January 10, 2025, reflect changes in the US gross national product (GNP) and are expected to go into effect in mid-February 2025, 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
