Antitrust: 2026 HSR Thresholds Announced
On Wednesday, the FTC announced the updated HSR filing thresholds and filing fee schedule for 2026 and separately announced the new thresholds for director interlocks. The size-of-transaction threshold is increasing from $126.4 million to $133.9 million for 2026. The revised jurisdictional thresholds and filing fee schedule will apply to all transactions that close on or after the effective date (30 days after publication in the Federal Register). Check out this Sidley alert for a complete list of the revised thresholds.
We’re posting this and other memos on this update under “HSR Thresholds” in our “Antitrust” Practice Area.
