For Item 2(d)(iii), please include the range that most accurately describes the size of the transaction that is being reported. The fee would be based on that range and the fee schedule in effect on the date of filing.

Subject: Quick HSR Question

Good evening,

I have a quick question regarding how we should fill out the form for a filing we want to make tomorrow for an § 801.30(a)(1) open market acquisition. We intend to file at the current $100 million (as adjusted) notification threshold for a transaction size between $202 million and $1,009.8 million. For the upper range for Item 2(d)(iii), what is the appropriate next greatest notification threshold to use given the changing thresholds? Should it be up to $1,009.8 million (based on current thresholds) or should it be up to only $500 million (based on the updated thresholds that will take effect prior to close). Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
