Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal Register. The following transactions were granted early termination of the waiting period provided by law and the premerger notification rules. The grants were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trans No. Acquiring Acquired Entities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSACTIONS GRANTED EARLY TERMINATION--03/03/2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20080767.............
