Antitrust Matters Sample Clauses
The Antitrust Matters clause is designed to ensure that the parties comply with all applicable antitrust and competition laws during the course of their agreement. It typically requires each party to avoid engaging in conduct that could be considered anti-competitive, such as price-fixing, market allocation, or collusion, and may obligate the parties to cooperate with any regulatory reviews or filings required by competition authorities. This clause serves to protect both parties from legal risks associated with antitrust violations and helps ensure that the agreement does not inadvertently result in unlawful restraints on trade.

Antitrust Matters. The Offer and the Merger are subject to the HSR Act, which provides that parties to certain mergers or acquisitions notify the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") of the proposed transaction and wait a specific period of time before closing while the agencies review the proposed transaction. On April 13, 2018, Parent filed a premerger Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the DOJ and the FTC in connection with the purchase of the Shares in the Offer and the Merger. On April 13, 2018, AveXis filed a premerger Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the DOJ and the FTC in connection with the Offer and the Merger. Parent's filing triggered a 15-day initial waiting period, for which early termination was requested. However, the DOJ or the FTC may extend the waiting period by requesting additional information or documentary material from Parent. If such a request is made, such waiting period will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth day after substantial compliance by Parent with such request. Only one extension of the waiting period pursuant to a request for additional information is authorized by the HSR Act. Thereafter, such waiting period may be extended only by court order or with the consent of Parent. In practice, complying with a request for additional information or material can take a significant amount of time. In addition, if the DOJ or the FTC raise substantive issues in connection with a proposed transaction, the parties frequently engage in negotiations with the relevant governmental agency concerning possible means of addressing those issues and may agree to delay the transaction while such negotiations continue. We are not required to accept for payment Shares tendered in the Offer unless and until the waiting period requirements imposed by the HSR Act with respect to the Offer have been satisfied. See Section 14—"Conditions of the Offer." The FTC and the DOJ sometimes scrutinize the legality under the Antitrust Laws (as defined below) of transactions such as Purchaser's acquisition of Shares in the Offer and the Merger. At any time before or after Purchaser's acquisition of Shares, either the DOJ or the FTC could take such action under the Antitrust Laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the acquisition of Shares in the Offer or otherwise seeking divestiture of Shares acquired by ...

Each of RHC and the Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to supply promptly any information required to be submitted to comply with a formal request for additional information (a “second request”) or equivalent request from the relevant Governmental Authorities and thereafter promptly certify substantial compliance with such request in order to commence or end a statutory waiting period. Each of RHC and the Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust or competition law, as applicable, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each of RHC and the Buyer agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate as soon as possible each and every impediment under the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust or competition laws that may be asserted by any United States or other governmental antitrust authority so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously consummate the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Parent, nor any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries shall be required to, and none of the Acquired Companies shall be permitted to, (i) commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the divestiture, sale, license, transfer, assignment or other disposition of assets or business of the Parent or the Acquired Companies (or their respective Subsidiaries), (ii) terminate, relinquish, modify, transfer, assign, restructure or waive existing agreements, collaborations, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of the Parent or the Acquired Companies (or their respective Subsidiaries) or (iii) create or consent to create any contractual rights, obligations, tolling agreements or other arrangements of the Parent or the Acquired Companies (or any of their respective Subsidiaries)...
