11. 61 Fed. Reg. 13666 (1996) (codified at 16 C.F.R. Parts 801 through 803).
12. The term "transactions", as used in Appendices A and B, and Exhibit A to this report, does not refer to separate mergers or acquisitions; rather, it refers to types of structures such as cash tender offers, options to acquire voting securities from the issuer, options to acquire voting securities from someone other than the issuer, and multiple acquiring or acquired persons that necessitate separate HSR identification numbers to track the filing parties and waiting periods. A particular merger, joint venture or acquisition may involve more than one transaction. Indeed, some have involved as many as four or five separate transactions.
13. As reflected in Figure 4, any increase in defense/manufacturing-related or decrease in consumer goods-related transactions during fiscal year 1998 compared to other fiscal years may be accounted for, in part, by a change in attribution methodology (see Annual Report to Congress for Fiscal Year 1997).
