More types of investment in more industries may now be subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Foreign investors in health care, financial services, and real estate – in addition to investors in the defense and high-technology sectors – all now need to be aware that CFIUS review of their investment may be required. In addition, a new mandatory declaration process has been created so that some investments must be notified to CFIUS. This is a substantial change – previously, in almost all cases, the decision to notify CFIUS of a transaction was voluntary. And even very minor investments can be subject to CFIUS review if there is any chance that the foreign investor will, through the investment, obtain control over a US business. Review periods are longer, and filing requirements have changed. Failing to handle the CFIUS process can lead to termination of an otherwise smooth transaction. This webinar will provide an overview of the current CFIUS rules, including when a mandatory declaration is required and the details such a declaration must include, getting CFIUS matters reviewed and approved, and guidance on how to navigate the CFIUS process successfully.
