Exhibit A Definition of HHI and
Calculations for Market
‘‘HHI’’ means the HerfindahlHirschman Index, a commonly accepted
measure of market concentration. It is
calculated by squaring the market share
of each firm competing in the market
and then summing the resulting
numbers. For example, for a market
consisting of four firms with shares of
thirty, thirty, twenty and twenty
percent, the HHI is 2600 (302 + 302 +
202 + 202 = 2600). The HHI takes into
account the relative size and
distribution of the firms in a market and
approaches zero when a market consists
of a large number of firms of relatively
equal size. The HHI increases both as
the number of firms in the market
decreases and as the disparity in size
between those firms increases.
Markets in which the HHI is between
1000 and 1800 points are considered to
be moderately concentrated, and those
in which the HHI is in excess of 1800
points are considered to be
concentrated. Transactions that increase
the HHI by more than 100 points in
concentrated markets presumptively
raise antitrust concerns under the
Merger Guidelines. See Merger
Guidelines § 1.51.
