REG has experience in providing analysis to allow companies to comply with the Hart-Scott-Rodino requirements enforced by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). Companies wishing to merge or acquire assets above a certain threshold must demonstrate to the FTC that their merger or acquisition will not adversely affect competition in the markets in which they operate. REG has developed models to simulating competitive market conditions for the refined petroleum products industry, prepared white papers, and met with FTC advisory staff to discuss the results of its competitive analyses.
