In late January 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) released an updated operating plan in the event Congress does not pass a funding bill and the government shuts down. In a dramatic departure from prior practice, the FTC for the first time plans to also close down its premerger filing operations during such a scenario.  This change will prevent merging parties from making required Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) filings and starting required HSR pre-closing waiting periods during the shutdown.

On January 25, 2024 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued to block Novant Health (Novant) from acquiring two North Carolina hospitals, Lake Norman Regional Medical Center and Davis Regional Medical Center from Community Health Systems (CHS). The FTC alleges that the proposed $320 million transaction—which was first announced in February 2023— would threaten to substantially lessen competition for healthcare services in an area it defines as the “Eastern Lake Norman Area” of North Carolina.
