Subject: HSR Form Question

Hello, I have a brief questions regarding Acquiring Persons listed in Section 2(a) of the Form. Specifically, we have a fairly straightforward transaction where a private equity firm will form a new entity (Newco) and drop a subsidiary to merge with a privately held target corporation. The shareholders of the target will roll over some of their shares and will ultimately own 35% in the aggregate of Newco. Are each of the 60+ rollover shareholders considered Acquiring Persons required to be listed in Section 2(a) (none are reportable as the largest roll would result in ~5million of shares of Newco)?
