Mike,

If anunincorporated entity (e.g., partnership) distributes voting securities orassets in a controlled entity to the partnership's partners, would a partner thatcontrols the partnership be required to file HSR forthe acquisition of the stock or assets? (MV comment NO)

Example: Aninvestment fund distributes stock of a controlled corporation to its partnerson a pro rata basis. One of the partners controls the fund. Does that partnerhave to file HSR to acquire his share of the stock?
