Subject: Thresholds - Question

 

Dear All,

I have a transaction that may cross the $239 million ($100 million, as adjusted) threshold, but also may just cross the $119.5 million threshold ($50 million, as adjusted). I wanted to confirm that we can file for the $239 million threshold (paying that level of fee), while also noting that we may only cross the $119.5 million threshold, and that if we only cross the $119.5 million threshold only, the expiration of the waiting period covers the lower threshold. Thank you very much.
