Gun-Jumping Charges Remind Dealmakers to Operate Independently Before Closing
In early August, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) entered a consent decree with Legends Hospitality Parent Holdings, LLC (“Legends”) to resolve gun-jumping allegations that Legends improperly exerted operational control over ASM Global, Inc. (ASM) while its HSR filing for its acquisition of ASM remained pending. Although the DOJ allowed the transaction to close, Legends agreed to pay $3.5 million and be subject to seven years of DOJ oversight to resolve the allegations. This action by the DOJ provides a reminder to buyers and sellers of the need to continue operating independently after a deal is signed until closing even when the deal does not present significant antitrust concerns.
