Answer to Question 1

A merger is likely to be approved by the Justice Department as long as the pre-merger HHI is less than 1,500 . If the pre-merger HHI is between 1,500 and 2,500, the merger would be challenged if it raises the HHI by 100 or more points. If the pre-merger HHI is greater than 2,500, the merger generally would be blocked if it raises the HHI index by 200 or more points.
