Merger control requires pre-notification and a suspensory waiting period before combinations can take effect, subject to Commission review. Regulation of combinations forbids combinations causing an appreciable adverse effect on competition; such combinations are void. Proposed combinations must be notified to the Commission after specified triggering events and before consummation, and a statutory suspensory waiting period prevents the combination taking effect until the prescribed period or Commission orders. The Commission reviews notices under the procedural sections; a prescribed simplified filing can yield deemed approval subject to later voiding for materially incorrect or incomplete filings. Specified financial and institutional acquisitions are exempted.
