THE country's antitrust agency has raised the mandatory notification thresholds for merger and acquisition (M&A) deals following an annual review.
THE country's antitrust agency has raised the mandatory notification thresholds for merger and acquisition deals following an annual review. M&A plans where the size of party or size of transaction reaches P8.5 billion or P3.5 billion, respectively, will have to be reported and approved by the Philippine Competition Commission . These replaced the P7.8 billion SOP and P3.2 billion SOT thresholds that were in effect from March 1, 2024, to Feb. 28, 2025, the PCC said on Tuesday.
SOP refers to the total assets or revenues of the ultimate parent company of any party involved in the M&A deal, while SOT is the total value of the assets or revenues of the entity to be acquired. The thresholds for compulsory notification are adjusted annually based on the prior year's nominal gross domestic product growth. The PCC said that to date, it had received notification for a total of 328 transactions worth a combined P6.27 trillion.
