7 Jan 2025 XCL Resources Holdings LLC, Verdun Oil Company II LLC, EP Energy LLCFTC: record penalty of 5.6 million USD for gun-jumping in oil producer acquisition €5.39m
During the HSR waiting period for the 1.4 billion USD acquisition of EP Energy, XCL and Verdun already took control of day-to-day operations: they halted drilling projects, managed customer contracts in Utah and coordinated prices in Texas (94 days). In a settlement filed by the DOJ on behalf of the FTC, the companies agreed to a civil penalty of 5.6 million USD – the highest ever for gun-jumping in the US; court approval under the Tunney Act was still pending at the time of publication.
Until clearance, the buyer must not exert any influence on the target company's operations – integration teams need clear gun-jumping rules.
