Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Index the documents the lawyer marks for a possible filing: date, author, recipients and the file name. Do not complete the form and do not invent an item number.
- What the lawyer must review
- 15 U.S.C. § 18a requires both persons, or the acquiring person in a tender offer, to file and wait when the commerce test and the size tests are met, unless an exemption applies. The waiting period in the statute is 30 days, or 15 days for a cash tender offer. The FTC thresholds page gives the figures effective 17 February 2026: $535.5 million, $133.9 million, and size-of-person figures of $26.8 million and $267.8 million. The form's item numbers were not opened, so the index uses no item number. You decide whether a filing is required and which documents are responsive.
