What 2023 Merger Guidelines requires
The 2023 Merger Guidelines describe how the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) analyze mergers and acquisitions to determine compliance with U.S. antitrust laws. They establish a structural presumption that mergers resulting in a highly concentrated market (HHI > 1800) with a significant increase in concentration (change in HHI > 100) are illegal, as detailed in Guideline 1.
