A contribution to the existing JV by A with no change inmembership interests is exempt for A under 802.30, however, because B is an acquiring person, but not anacquired person for the additional assets, B may have a filing obligation.

DearMike - Here is my fact pattern:

Company A and Company B haveformed a 50/50 Joint Venture - LLC X.

Company A willcontribute $60 million in additional assets, but the membership interests willremain at 50/50 Can you confirm that this will not require an additional premergernotification.

Thanks.
