Please see the Statement of Basis and Purpose, 89 Fed. Reg. 89,216 at 89,279 (Nov. 12, 2024): “In the situation where
the only individuals supervising the strategic assessment of the deal are already either an officer or director, filers can
state that this is the case and identify an officer or director as the supervisory deal team lead.”
Best regards,
Kristin

Hello,
I have a question about the Supervisory Deal Team Lead (SDTL). What are the search and filing obligations if the person
primarily responsible for supervising the strategic assessment of the transaction is an officer of the filing person? They
would fall outside the definition of an SDTL and their documents would already be potentially responsive. Must an SDTL
be named in every filing? If so, how would that be possible in the scenario described?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
.
