    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has updated the financial thresholds that determine when a person is prohibited from being a director or officer of two competing companies, which is governed by Section 8 of the Clayton Act. As of January 21, 2021, competing companies are covered by these rules if each has combined capital, surplus, and undivided profits over $10,000,000, unless the competitive sales of either company are less than $1,000,000. The new threshold amounts are $37,382,000 for one type of evaluation and $3,738,200 for another. These changes reflect adjustments that happen every year based on the gross national product.

    Simple Explanation

    The FTC made new rules about how big companies can be before one person can't be a boss at two competing companies at the same time, and it's like saying if a company has more than a big number of dollars, special rules apply. They change these numbers every year to keep up with the country's money changes.

This clearance, initially expiring on January 31, 2021, helps standardize the measurement and disclosure of these products' features, aiding consumers in making informed purchases. The FTC invites public comments on this extension by February 22, 2021. The deadline extension aims to continue ensuring manufacturers provide consistent information about amplifiers, improving transparency and consumer trust.
