Divestitures have once again become an important component of antitrust merger review, but successfully navigating a divestiture requires more than simply identifying assets to sell. Join Baker Botts partners Anthony Swisher and Matt Adler, together with guest Brad Clouser, Deputy General Counsel, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, for a discussion of how companies can structure, negotiate, and execute divestitures that address potential competitive concerns arising from proposed transactions.

When a divestiture remedy is on the table, companies face critical decisions regarding buyer selection, transaction structure, agency engagement, implementation, and ongoing compliance. Drawing on perspectives from both private practice and industry, our speakers will examine the factors that drive successful outcomes and share practical insights for buyers, sellers, and deal teams navigating the merger review process.

Topics include:

1. The FTC's and DOJ's current approach to divestiture remedies and merger settlements
2. Structuring a divestiture process to satisfy antitrust enforcers' expectations
3. What makes a qualified divestiture buyer and why the highest bidder may not be the preferred buyer
4. Negotiating consent decrees and working with government agencies
5. Practical lessons from implementing divestiture commitments
6. Working with monitors and the compliance process
7. Unique considerations for healthcare companies in the divestiture process

Whether you are an antitrust or corporate practitioner, or involved in strategic transaction planning, this program will provide actionable insights for companies evaluating, negotiating, and implementing divestitures in connection with merger review.
