7. Antitrust Issues
Antitrust Law related to business combination




                  Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976


    Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the
    Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, requires persons
    contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade
    Commission and the Assistant Attorney General an advance notice and to
    wait designated periods before consummation of such plans. Section 7A (b)
    (2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual cases, to terminate this
    waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this action be
    published in the Federal Register.

 “We and MFW will not complete the merger unless a number of conditions are satisfied or waived (to the extent

Key Facts



  • Before the acquisition, market share for each company was just over 30%, putting
    the combined market share immediately upon acquisition into the 60-65% range

  • We can compare the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of just over 900 before the
    transaction to 3600-4225 after

  • Clarke's customers (large banks) supporting the acquisition, BofA, their largest
    customer, literally wrote a letter to the government stating “Why would they do that
    when in theory going from three large suppliers to two could increase prices for
    them?” That is to Increased efficiency and better service.

  • If BofA hadn't written that letter, MFW may not have gone through with the
    transaction

  • MFW successfully argued that one strong and one weaker but hungry competitor
    would be better for the industry at large that 3 mortal competitors who could
    potentially destroy each other.

Editor's Notes

  1. Analysis Failed negotiation would negatively affect Harland valuation and internal morale Major clients (e.g., Bank of America) key to alleviating antitrust concern – wrote a letter Why? -> Provide better service as a combined company, and provide it more efficiently Before the acquisition, market share for each company was just over 30%, putting the combined market share immediately upon acquisition into the 60-65% range. Thus, we can compare the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of just over 900 before the transaction to 3600-4225 after. - Two crucial points helped overcome the above in antitrust approval 1. Clarke's customers (large banks) supporting the acquisition. BofA, their largest customer, literally wrote a letter to the government Why would they do that when in theory going from 3 large suppliers to 2 could increase prices for them? Increased efficiency and better service. If BofA hadn't written that letter, MFW would not have gone through with the transaction 2. MFW successfully argued that 1 strong and 1 weaker but hungry competitor would be better for the industry at large that 3 mortal competitors who could potentially destroy each other Strategic Nature - Customer Databases: from ~15 mm to ~35 mm
  2. IPO of tech business considered in past Analysis Failed negotiation would negatively affect Harland valuation and internal morale Major clients (e.g., Bank of America) key to alleviating antitrust concern – wrote a letter
  3. PF Revenue Exact number was $1.675 Mathematical combination of top lines of four different business (Clarke, Printed, Fin Solutions, Scantron) However, opportunities for additional increase through x-selling. Example: expedited trackable check delivery (customer security concerns – Harland didn’t have, so Clarke was able to offer to Harland legacy customers Cash EBITDA is a financial tool that has to do with the specifics of the industry: $500 mm 5-yr contract for checks with a major bank, $30 mm discount, accounting rules dictate the allocation of entire discount to first year (i.e., $70 mm rev for Year 1, $100 mm for each consecutive year), cash EBITDA adds 4/5 of that discount back in – so only pro-rata discount for that year is reflected in the Revenue line Synergies actually realized over first 24 months: $120-125 mm
  4. Headcount: represents 8% reduction in total headcount and other associated costs Other: professional fees, advertising and promotional expense and other outsourced spend Synergies actually realized over first 24 months: $120-125 mm
