NOTIFICATION AND REPORT FORM
for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions
INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Notification and Report Form ("the Form") is required to be
submitted pursuant to §803.1(a) of the premerger notification
rules, 16 CFR Parts 801-803 ("the Rules").

For acquisitions to which §801.30 does not apply, the affidavit
must attest that a contract, agreement in principle or letter of
intent to merge or acquire has been executed, and further attest
to the good faith intention of the person filing notification to
complete the transaction.

These instructions specify the information which must be
provided in response to the items on the Form. The completed
Form, together with all documentary attachments, are to be filed
with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of
Justice (‘the Agencies”).

For acquisitions to which §801.30 does apply, the affidavit must
also attest that the issuer whose voting securities or the
unincorporated entity whose non-corporate interests are to be
acquired has received notice; the identity of the acquiring
person and the fact that the acquiring person intends to acquire
voting securities of the issuer or non-corporate interests of the
unincorporated entity; the specific notification threshold that the
acquiring person intends to meet or exceed if an acquisition of
voting securities; the fact that the acquisition may be subject to
the Act, and that the acquiring person will file notification under
the Act; the anticipated date of receipt of such notification by the
Agencies; and the fact that the person within which the issuer or
unincorporated entity is included may be required to file
notification under the Act.

The term "documentary attachments" refers to materials
supplied in response to Item 3(b), Item 4 and to submissions
pursuant to §803.1(b) of the Rules.
Persons providing responses on attachment pages rather than
on the Form must submit a complete set of attachment pages

ITEM BY ITEM
Fee Information
The fee for filing the Notification and Report Form is based on the
aggregate total amount of assets and voting securities to be held as
a result of the acquisition:

Thresholds
Filing fee and notification thresholds are adjusted annually pursuant
to Section 7A(a)(2) of the Clayton Act based on the change in gross
national product, in accordance with Section 8(a)(5). The current
threshold values can be found at www.ftc.gov/bc/hsr.

Value of assets or voting
securities to be held
greater than $50 million (as
adjusted) but less than $100
million (as adjusted)
$100 million (as adjusted) or
greater but less than $500 million
(as adjusted)
$500 million or greater
(as adjusted)

Limited Response
Information need not be supplied regarding assets, non-corporate
interests, or voting securities currently being acquired, when the
acquisition is exempt under the statute or rules. (See §803.2(c)(1)).
The acquired person should limit its response in the case of an
acquisition of assets, to the assets being sold, in the case of an
acquisition of non-corporate interests, to the unincorporated entity(s)
whose non-corporate interests are being acquired, and in the case
of an acquisition of voting securities, to the issuer(s) whose voting
securities are being acquired and all entities controlled by such
acquired entities. Separate responses may be required where a
person is both acquiring and acquired. (See §§803.2(b) and (c)).

Fee Amount
$45,000

$125,000

$280,000

For current thresholds and fee information, see www.ftc.gov/bc/hsr.
Amount Paid
Indicate the amount of the filing fee paid. This amount should be
net of any banking or financial institution charges. Where an
explanatory attachment is required, include in your explanation any
adjustments to the acquisition price that serve to lower the fee from
that which would otherwise be due. If there is no acquisition price or
if the acquisition price may fall within a range that straddles two filing
fee thresholds, state the transaction value on which the fee is based
and explain the valuation method used. Include in your explanation
a description of any exempt assets, the value assigned to each, and
the valuation method used.

non-reportable.

Item 2(d)(x)
State the aggregate total value of voting securities, assets and noncorporate interests of the acquired person to be held by each
acquiring person, as a result of the acquisition (see §§801.10,

there are additional filings, such as shareholder backside filings,
associated with the transaction, list those, as well as any special

threshold for which notification is being filed (see §801.1(h)): $50
million (as adjusted), $100 million (as adjusted), $500 million (as
adjusted), 25% (if value of voting securities to be held is greater
than $1 billion, as adjusted), or 50%. The notification threshold
selected should be based on voting securities only that will be
held as a result of the acquisition.
Note that the 50% notification threshold is the highest threshold and
should be used for any acquisition of 50% or more of the voting
securities of an issuer, regardless of the value of the voting
securities (e.g. an acquisition of 100% of the voting securities of an
issuer, valued in excess of $500 million (as adjusted) would cross
the 50% notification threshold, not the $500 million (as adjusted)
threshold.
Item 2(d)
Item 2(d)(i)
State the value of voting securities already held (see §801.10).

If the voting securities or non-corporate interests are to be acquired
from a holder other than the issuer or non-corporate entity (or an
entity within the same person as the issuer or non-corporate entity)
separately identify (if known) such holder and the issuer of the
voting securities (an acquisition of non-corporate interests from a
holder other than the unincorporated entity or an entity within the
unincorporated entity should be reported in the same manner).
Acquiring persons involved in tender offers should describe the
terms of the offer.

Item 2(d)(ii)
State the percentage of voting securities already held (see
§801.12).
Item 2(d)(iii)
State the total value of voting securities to be held as a result of the
acquisition (see §801.10).

Item 3(b)
Furnish copies of all documents that constitute the agreement(s)
among the acquiring person(s) and the person(s) whose voting
securities, non-corporate interests or assets are to be acquired.
Also furnish Agreements Not to Compete. Documents that
constitute the agreement(s) (e.g., a Letter of Intent, Merger
Agreement, Purchase and Sale Agreement) must be executed,
while Agreements Not to Compete may be provided in draft form if
that is the most recent version. If parties are filing on an executed
Letter of Intent, they may also submit a draft of the definitive
agreement. Note that transactions subject to §801.30 and
bankruptcies under 11 USC §363 do not require an executed
agreement or letter of intent. (For paper copy submissions, do not
attach these documents to the Form).

Item 2(d)(iv)
State the total percentage of voting securities to be held as a result
of the acquisition (overall voting power; see §801.12).
Item 2(d)(v)
State the value of non-corporate interests already held ( §801.10).

Instructions to FTC Form C 4 (rev. xx/xx/xxxx)

IV

of the person filing notification and of each unconsolidated United
States entity included within such person. Natural persons need
only provide annual reports and/or annual audit reports for the
highest level entity(s) they control. Alternatively, the person filing
notification may incorporate a document by reference to an internet
address directly linking to the document (see §803.2(e)(2)).

Persons filing notification may provide an optional index of
documents called for by Item 4.
ITEMS 5 through 7
For Items 5 through 7, the acquired person should limit its response
in the case of an acquisition of assets, to the assets to be acquired,
in the case of an acquisition of non-corporate interests, to the
unincorporated entity(s) being acquired and all entities controlled by
such unincorporated entity(s), and in the case of an acquisition of
voting securities, to the issuer(s) whose voting securities are being
acquired and all entities controlled by such issuer. A person filing as
both acquiring and acquired may be required to provide a separate
response to these items in each capacity so that it can properly limit
its response as an acquired person. (See §§ 803.2(b) and (c)).

NOTE: In response to Item 4(b), the person filing
notification may incorporate by reference documents
submitted with an earlier filing as explained in the staff
formal interpretations dated April 10, 1979, and April 7,
1981, and in §803.2(e).
If the annual report and/or annual audit report does not show sales
or assets sufficient to meet the size of person test, and the size of
person test is relevant given the size of the transaction, the filing
person must stipulate in Item 4(b) that it meets the test.

NOTE: See "References" listed in the General
Instructions to the Form.

Item 4(c)
Provide all studies, surveys, analyses and reports which were
prepared by or for any officer(s) or director(s) (or, in the case of
unincorporated entities, individuals exercising similar functions) for
the purpose of evaluating or analyzing the acquisition with respect
to market shares, competition, competitors, markets, potential for
sales growth or expansion into product or geographic markets, and
indicate (if not contained in the document itself) the date of
preparation, and the name and title of each individual who prepared
each such document.

ITEM 5
This item requests information by NAICS code regarding nonmanufacturing and manufacturing dollar revenues. All persons
must submit data on non-manufacturing revenues at the 6-digit
NAICS industry code level. To the extent that dollar revenues are
derived from manufacturing operations (NAICS Sectors 31-33),
data must be submitted at the 10-digit product code level (NAICSbased codes). Where certain published NAICS industry codes
contain only 5 digits, the filing person should add a zero (0) after the
fifth (5th) digit.

NOTE: If the person filing notification withholds or redacts
any documents called for by Item 4(c) based on a claim of
privilege, the person must provide a statement of reasons
for such noncompliance as specified in the staff formal
interpretation dated September 13, 1979, and §803.3(d).

Nondepository credit intermediation (NAICS Industry Group Code
5222); securities, commodity contracts, and other financial
investments (NAICS Subsector 523); funds, trusts, and other
financial vehicles (NAICS Subsector 525); real estate (NAICS
Subsector 531); lessors of nonfinancial intangible assets, except
copyright works (NAICS Subsector 533); and management of
companies and enterprises (NAICS Subsector 551) should identify
or explain the revenues reported (e.g. dollar sales receipts).

Item 4(d)
For each category below, indicate (if not contained in the document
itself) the date of preparation, and the name of the company or
organization that prepared each such document.

Persons filing notification should include the total dollar revenues for
all entities included within the person filing notification at the time the
Form is prepared. If no revenues are reported, check the “None”
box and provide a brief explanation.

Item 4(d)(i): Provide all offering memoranda (or documents that
served that function) that reference the acquired entity(s) or assets.
Documents responsive to this item are limited to those produced up
to two years before the date of filing.

Item 5(a)
Provide 6-digit NAICS industry data concerning the aggregate
operations of the person filing notification for the most recent year in
NAICS Sectors other than 31-33 (non-manufacturing industries) in
which the person engaged and 10-digit NAICS product code data
for each product code within NAICS Sectors 31-33 (manufacturing
industries) in which the person engaged, including revenues for
each product manufactured outside the U.S. but sold in or into the
U.S. Sales made directly into the U.S. should be reported in a
manufacturing code. Sales made into the U.S. through a
wholesale or retail operation within the same person should be
reported in both manufacturing (transfer price) and wholesale or
retail (sales price) codes. If such data have not been compiled for
the most recent year, estimates of dollar revenues by 6-digit NAICS
industry codes and 10-digit NAICS product codes may be provided
if a statement describing the method of estimation is furnished.

Item 4(d)(ii): Provide all studies, surveys, analyses and reports
prepared by investment bankers, consultants or other third party
advisors if they were prepared for any officer(s) or director(s) (or, in
the case of unincorporated entities, individuals exercising similar
functions) for the purpose of evaluating or analyzing market shares,
competition, competitors, markets, potential for sales growth or
expansion into product or geographic markets, and that also
reference the acquired entity(s) or assets. Documents responsive
to this item are limited to those produced up to two years before the
date of filing.
Item 4(d)(iii): Provide all studies, surveys, analyses and reports
evaluating or analyzing synergies and/or efficiencies if they were

unincorporated entities, individuals exercising similar functions) for
the purpose of evaluating or analyzing the acquisition. Financial
models without stated assumptions need not be provided in
response to this item.

Item 5(b)

knowledge or belief, to entities that derived dollar revenues in the
most recent year from operations in industries within any 6-digit
NAICS industry code in which the acquired entity(s) or assets also
derived dollar revenues in the most recent year. The acquired entity
should limit its response, based on its knowledge or belief, to
entities that derive revenues in the same 6-digit NAICS industry
code as the acquiring person. If NAICS codes are unavailable,
holdings in entities that have operations in the same industry, based
on the knowledge or belief of the filing person, should be listed.

(Acquiring person only) For each associate (see §801.1(d)(2)) of
the person filing notification holding five percent or more but less
than fifty percent of the voting securities of any issuer or noncorporate interests of any unincorporated entity that derived dollar
revenues in the most recent year from operations in industries
within any 6-digit NAICS industry code in which the acquired
entity(s) or assets also derived dollar revenues in the most recent
year, list, based on the knowledge or belief of the acquiring person,

acquiring person to list all entities in which its associate(s) has a
reportable minority interest.

Item 5(b)(iv)
Identify each 6-digit NAICS industry code in which the joint venture
corporation or unincorporated entity will derive dollar revenues. If
the joint venture corporation or unincorporated entity will be
