FTC seeks more info on Flying J-Pilot deal

摘要

The Federal Trade Commission is asking for additional information from Flying J and Pilot Travel Centers on their proposed merger. The two firms said in July that they had entered into an agreement that would permit Flying J's travel plaza business to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The value of the transaction was large enough to require Flying J and Pilot to file a pre-merger notification under the Hart Scott Rodino Act, which gives regulators a specific period to review proposed mergers.
