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. All applicable waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act shall have expired or otherwise been terminated;
Antitrust Matters. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.5, each of the Company and Parent agree to promptly provide to each and every federal, state or foreign Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of under the HSR Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign or supranational Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”) non-privileged information and documents that are necessary, proper and advisable to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Antitrust Matters. The Offer and the Merger are subject to the HSR Act, which provides that certain acquisition transactions may not be consummated unless certain information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and certain waiting period requirements have expired or been terminated. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on October 27, 2016, Parent and Everyday Health filed with the FTC and the DOJ a Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions under the HSR Act (the “HSR Filing”) in connection with the purchase of the Shares in the Offer and the Merger. The filings are subject to a 15-day initial waiting period that would normally expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 11, 2016, unless early termination of the waiting period is granted. However, the DOJ or the FTC may extend the initial waiting period by requesting additional information or documentary material prior to such expiration. If such a request is made, such waiting period will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the 10th day after substantial compliance by Parent with such request. If the waiting periods noted above would expire on a Table of Contents Saturday, Sunday or legal public holiday, the waiting period will instead expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the next business day. Accordingly, unless the DOJ or the FTC extends the waiting period by requesting additional information or documentary material, the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Offer and the Merger will actually expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 14, 2016, unless early termination of the waiting period is granted. After the waiting period expires, absent ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and Everyday Health’s agreement, the acquisition can be blocked only by court order. The FTC or the Antitrust Division may terminate the additional 10-day waiting period before its expiration. 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 raises 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. The Purchaser is not required to accept for payment Shares tendered in the Offer unless and until...
