Subject: Question on 4(c) Documents

Hello!

I hope everyone is well. I had a question on Item 4(c). I wanted to confirm that the PNO’s current position is that documents that discuss only non-US markets (even if that portion of the transaction is exempt outside the US under Rules 802.50 and/or 802.51), must be submitted with the HSR filing.

I believe that is true based on the following:
