Attorneys for Plaintiff the United States. Bernard Hollander (BH 0818), Senior Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, 325 7th Street, NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20530. Attorney for Plaintiff the United States. 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.
