United States v. Reddy Ice LLC, et al. Proposed Final Judgment
and Competitive Impact Statement
Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Antitrust Procedures and
Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b)-(h), that a proposed Final Judgment,
Stipulation, and Competitive Impact Statement have been filed with the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia in United
States of America v. Reddy Ice LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 1:26-cv-
271. On January 30, 2026, the United States filed a Complaint alleging
that Stone Canyon Industries Holdings, LP's Reddy Ice LLC's (``Reddy

Case No.: 1:26-cv-271-SLS
Complaint
Reddy Ice seeks to acquire Arctic Glacier, combining the largest
two producers of packaged ice in certain parts of the United States
where they both compete. This proposed acquisition threatens to
eliminate substantial head-to-head competition and risks increasing
prices for packaged ice paid by retail chains in Oregon, Washington,
and Imperial and Riverside counties in California, and also by airlines
and airline caterers in the New York City and Boston metropolitan
areas. The United States of America brings this civil action under
Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18, to enjoin this
anticompetitive merger.
I. Introduction
1. Found at backyard cookouts and on cross-country flights,
packaged (or bagged) ice is a staple of American life. Packaged ice
producers sell packaged ice to national, regional, and multi-regional
retail chains, airlines, and airline caterers, among other customers.
These large ice purchasers require high-quality service from packaged
ice producers. Retail chains want ice reliably stocked in their stores,
particularly during the summer months, and airlines need ice to serve
their customers during in-flight beverage services.
2. Packaged ice producers, such as Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier,
deliver ice to their customers or customers' warehouses directly from
their plants or distribution facilities. Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier
also contract with other ice producers, called co-packers, who
manufacture and deliver ice to some of Reddy Ice's and Arctic Glacier's
customers, typically to locations outside of Reddy Ice's and Arctic
Glacier's facility footprints. Working with co-packers can keep down
the costs of transport, which can be high due to packaged ice's high
volume and weight relative to its sales price, as well as the expense
of fuel and refrigeration.
3. The packaged ice industry has undergone significant
consolidation resulting in there being three large packaged ice
producers--Reddy Ice, Arctic Glacier, and Home City Ice--having largely
complementary footprints in the United States, although they do overlap
in some geographic areas. Reddy Ice's packaged ice facilities are
located in the Southeast, South, and parts of the West and West Coast;
Arctic Glacier's packaged ice facilities are located in the Northeast,
parts of the Midwest, and on the West Coast; and Home City Ice's
packaged ice facilities are located in the Midwest and in parts of the
Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
4. Competition between Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier for the sale of
packaged ice to large purchasers such as retail chains, airlines, and
airline caterers has resulted in lower prices and better service for
these customers. The proposed acquisition would substantially lessen
this competition, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15
U.S.C. 18, and should be enjoined.
II. The Defendants and the Proposed Transaction
5. Reddy Ice is the largest producer of packaged ice in the United
States with annual revenues of approximately $511 million. It is
headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and is owned by Stone Canyon Industries
Holdings, LP. The company sells packaged ice in 37 states and the
District of Columbia. It operates 100 ice manufacturing facilities and
distribution facilities in the United States. Reddy Ice also owns
approximately 2,320 in-store bagging machines that produce and package
ice for retail chains like grocery stores and convenience stores.
6. Arctic Glacier is the third largest packaged ice producer in the
United States with annual revenues of approximately $306 million. It
has dual headquarters in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, and Winnipeg,
Canada. Arctic Glacier's ultimate parent entity is Chill Parent Holdco,
L.P., which the Carlyle Group owns. Arctic Glacier sells its packaged
ice in 19 states. It operates 57 ice manufacturing facilities and
distribution facilities in the United States.
7. On July 3, 2025, Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier executed a
purchase agreement through which Reddy Ice will acquire Arctic Glacier
for more than $126.4 million but less than $179.4 million.
III. The Relevant Markets for Evaluating the Proposed Transaction
8. Commercial purchasers of packaged ice, such as large retail
chains and other multi-location customers, strongly prefer to purchase
from large producers with broad geographic footprints, such as Reddy
Ice, Arctic Glacier, and Home City Ice. These producers operate at
scale and are uniquely capable of serving these multi-location retail
[[Page 7635]]
chains and other customers because they each have large regional
networks with dozens of manufacturing and distribution facilities.
While there are hundreds of smaller local packaged ice producers, most
have only a single facility and are therefore generally unable to
compete for the business of multi-location customers.
9. Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier compete for the sale of packaged
ice in areas where they are both present, either with a manufacturing
facility or through a co-packer. In assessing the likely effects of
this transaction, the relevant markets are best defined by the type and
locations of the customers purchasing the packaged ice. Those markets
include (1) the sale of packaged ice to retail chains with stores in
areas where the parties compete, and (2) the sale of packaged ice to
airlines and airline caterers in areas where the parties compete.
A. The Sale of Packaged Ice to Retail Chains in Oregon, Washington, and
Imperial and Riverside Counties in California Are Relevant Markets
10. The sale of packaged ice to retail chains is a relevant product
market. There are no reasonable substitutes for packaged ice sold to
retail chains. For most retail chains, alternative ways of procuring
ice--such as ice vending machines and self-supply--are not viable due
to cost, capacity, and space limitations.
11. Packaged ice producers negotiate individual prices with retail
chains for delivery of packaged ice to multiple stores. Retail chains
with stores in locations where the parties compete can therefore be
targeted for price increases. Similarly situated retail chains can be
grouped together for analytical convenience to assess the competitive
effects of the transaction. The relevant geographic markets in which
retail chains will likely be harmed by the proposed transaction are the
locations of these similarly situated targetable customers in Oregon,
Washington, and Imperial and Riverside counties in California.
12. Retail chains in these markets generally do not consider small
and single-location packaged ice producers as viable options, so they
often rely on large packaged ice producers with broad geographic
footprints for packaged ice supply. Retail chains in these markets
often prefer to contract with large packaged ice producers because they
have the ability to serve stores across multiple geographies. Other
reasons include volume discounts; proven ability to serve large
customers; the administrative simplicity of fewer suppliers; and the
ability of large packaged ice producers to supply back-up ice from
alternative facilities.
13. A hypothetical monopolist supplier of packaged ice to retail
chains in Oregon, Washington, and Imperial and Riverside counties in
California would profitably increase prices by at least a small but
significant non-transitory amount because retail chains in these areas
have no practical alternative source of supply. Therefore, the sale of
packaged ice to retail chains in Oregon, Washington, and Imperial and
Riverside counties in California are relevant markets within the
meaning of Section 7 of the Clayton Act.
B. The Sale of Packaged Ice to Airlines and Airline Caterers in the
Metropolitan Areas of Boston and New York City Are Relevant Markets
14. The sale of packaged ice to airlines and airline caterers is a
relevant product market. There are no reasonable substitutes for
packaged ice sold to airlines and airline caterers. Airlines and
airline caterers buy packaged ice primarily to supply the ice used
during in-flight beverage services. Unlike retail chains, most airlines
and airline caterers purchase smaller, five-pound bags in heat-sealed
bags, which require different machinery that many ice producers do not
have, rather than the typical seven-pound (or larger) bags sold to
retail chains. Ice vending machines and self-supply of packaged ice are
not viable alternatives for most airlines and airline caterers due to
cost, capacity, and space limitations.
15. Packaged ice producers negotiate individual prices with
airlines and airline caterers for delivery to airports. Airlines and
airline caterers in locations where the parties compete can therefore
be targeted for price increases. Similarly situated airlines and
airline caterers can be grouped together to assess the effects of the
transaction. The relevant geographic markets in which airlines and
airline caterers will likely be harmed by the proposed transaction are
the locations of these similarly situated targetable customers in the
metropolitan areas of Boston and New York City.
16. Airlines and airline caterers in these markets generally do not
consider small, local packaged ice producers as viable options, so they
rely mainly on large packaged ice producers capable of producing high
volumes of five-pound heat-sealed bags for packaged ice supply.
17. A hypothetical monopolist supplier of packaged ice to airlines
and airline caterers in the metropolitan areas of Boston and New York
City would profitably increase prices by at least a small but
significant non-transitory amount because airlines and airline caterers
in these areas have no practical alternative source of supply.
Therefore, the sale of packaged ice to airlines and airline caterers in
these areas are relevant markets within the meaning of Section 7 of the
Clayton Act.
IV. Anticompetitive Effects of the Proposed Transaction
18. The proposed transaction would combine Reddy Ice and Arctic
Glacier, the largest packaged ice producers capable of servicing,
whether directly or through co-packers, most retail chains, airlines,
and airline caterers in the relevant geographic markets.
19. In each of the relevant markets, Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier
compete head to head to sell packaged ice. Competition between them
lowers prices and improves service in the relevant markets. Many
customers solicit bids from packaged ice producers and select the
bidder that offers the best combination of service quality and price.
Even customers who use less formal procurement processes benefit from
the competition between these two large producers on price and quality
of service.
20. Smaller local ice producers are typically not invited to bid on
business from retail chains, airlines, or airline caterers. These
customers can usually arrange more convenient supply to all of their
locations, nationally or regionally, by contracting with larger
packaged ice producers such as Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier. Many of
these customers are also reluctant to incur the additional risks and
administrative costs of adding contracts with untested small producers
that can only deliver locally.
21. Because the proposed transaction would eliminate head-to-head
competition between Reddy Ice and Arctic Glacier and leave retail
chains, airlines, and airline caterers in the relevant markets with
few, if any, competitive alternatives, it is likely to significantly
lessen competition and lead to higher prices, reduced service quality,
or both.
V. Potential Entry or Expansion Would Not Offset Anticompetitive
Effects
22. New entry and expansion by competitors are unlikely to be
timely and sufficient to offset the proposed merger's likely
anticompetitive effects. Barriers to entering the market at sufficient
scale are high. Significant up-front capital is required to start a
network of production facilities with the scale needed to meaningfully
compete with the combined firm. There are also reputational barriers
that prevent new
[[Page 7636]]
entrants from replacing the lost competition between these large and
established suppliers in a timely manner.
23. The proposed transaction is unlikely to generate verifiable,
merger-specific efficiencies sufficient to reverse or outweigh the
anticompetitive effects that are likely to occur as a result of the
proposed transaction.
VI. Jurisdiction and Venue
24. The United States brings this action pursuant to Section 15 of
the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 25, to prevent and restrain
Defendants from violating Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15
U.S.C. 18.
25. Defendants sell packaged ice in the flow of interstate commerce
and their sale of the product substantially affects interstate
commerce, including in this judicial district. This court therefore has
subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Section 15 of
the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 25, and 28 U.S.C. 1331, 1337(a), and 1345.
26. Both Defendants transact business in this judicial district.
Venue is therefore proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C.
1391(b) and (c).
VII. Violation Alleged
27. The United States hereby incorporates the allegations of
paragraphs 1 through 26 above as if set forth fully herein.
28. The effect of the proposed transaction may be substantially to
lessen competition in interstate trade and commerce, in violation of
Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18.
29. Unless enjoined, the proposed transaction would likely have the
following anticompetitive effects, among others:
(a) Eliminating head-to-head competition between Defendants for
packaged ice sold to retail chains, airlines, and airline caterers in
the relevant markets;
(b) Substantially lessening competition generally for packaged ice
sold to retail chains, airlines, and airline caterers in the relevant
markets;
(c) Causing prices to be higher than they would be otherwise for
packaged ice sold to retail chains, airlines, and airline caterers in
the relevant markets; and
(d) Reducing choice and quality of service for customers purchasing
packaged ice in the relevant markets.
VIII. Request For Relief
30. The United States requests that this Court:
(a) Adjudge and decree that Reddy Ice's acquisition of Arctic
Glacier is unlawful and violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15
U.S.C. 18;
(b) Permanently enjoin and restrain Defendants and all persons
acting on their behalf from consummating the proposed acquisition of
Arctic Glacier by Reddy Ice, or from entering into or carrying out any
contract, agreement, plan, or understanding, the effect of which would
be to combine Arctic Glacier and Reddy Ice;
(c) Award the United States its costs for this action; and
(d) Award the United States such other and further relief as the
Court deems just and proper.

IV. Divestiture of California Divestiture Assets
A. Defendants are ordered and directed, within 30 calendar days
after the Court's entry of the Asset Preservation/Hold Separate
Stipulation and Order in this matter, to (1) divest the California
Divestiture Assets in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment to
San Diego Ice or another Acquirer acceptable to the United States, in
its sole discretion, and (2) sever any existing manufacture,
distribution, or co-pack agreement between Defendants and Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets. The United States, in its sole
discretion, may agree to one or more extensions of this time period not
to exceed 60 calendar days in total and will notify the Court of any
extensions.
B. For all contracts, agreements, and customer relationships (or
portions of such contracts, agreements, and customer relationships)
included in the California Divestiture Assets, Defendants must assign
or otherwise transfer all contracts, agreements, and customer
relationships for customers and locations listed in Schedule 1 to this
Final Judgment to Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets within

provided, however, that for any contract or agreement that requires the
consent of another party to assign or otherwise transfer, Defendants
must use best efforts to accomplish the assignment or transfer.
Defendants must not interfere with any negotiations between Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets and a contracting party.
C. Defendants must use best efforts to divest the California
Divestiture Assets as expeditiously as possible. Defendants must take
no action that would jeopardize the completion of the divestiture
ordered by the Court, including any action to impede the permitting,
operation, or divestiture of the California Divestiture Assets.
D. Unless the United States otherwise consents in writing,
divestiture pursuant to this Final Judgment must include the entire
California Divestiture Assets and must be accomplished in such a way as
to satisfy the United States, in its sole discretion, that the
California Divestiture Assets can and will be used by Acquirer of the
California Divestiture Assets as part of a viable, ongoing business of
the manufacture and sale of packaged ice and that the divestiture to
Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets will remedy the
competitive harm alleged in the Complaint.
E. The divestiture of the California Divestiture Assets must be
made to an Acquirer that, in the United States' sole judgment, has the
intent and capability, including the necessary managerial, operational,
technical, and financial capability, to compete effectively in the
manufacture and sale of packaged ice.
F. The divestiture of the California Divestiture Assets must be
accomplished in a manner that satisfies the United States, in its sole
discretion, that none of the terms of any agreement between Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets and Defendants give Defendants the
ability unreasonably to raise costs for Acquirer of the California
Divestiture Assets, to lower efficiency of Acquirer of the California
Divestiture Assets, or otherwise interfere in the ability of Acquirer
of the California Divestiture Assets to compete effectively in the
manufacture and sale of packaged ice.
G. In the event Defendants are attempting to divest the California
Divestiture Assets to an Acquirer other than San Diego Ice, Defendants
promptly must make known, by usual and customary means, the
availability of the California Divestiture Assets. Defendants must
inform any person making an inquiry relating to a possible purchase of
the California Divestiture Assets that the California Divestiture
Assets are being divested in accordance with this Final Judgment and
must provide that person with a copy of this Final Judgment. Defendants
must offer to furnish to all prospective Acquirers of the California
Divestiture Assets, subject to customary confidentiality assurances,

documents are made available to any other person.
H. Defendants must provide prospective Acquirers of the California
Divestiture Assets with (1) access to make inspections of the
California Divestiture Assets; (2) access to all environmental, zoning,

California Divestiture Assets in identifying and, at the option of
Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets, hiring all California
Personnel, including:
1. Within 10 business days following the entry of the Asset
Preservation/Hold Separate Stipulation and Order in this matter,
Defendants must identify all California Personnel to Acquirer of the
California Divestiture Assets and the United States, including by
providing organization charts covering all California Personnel.
2. Within 10 business days following receipt of a request by
Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets, the United States, or

Divestiture Assets, the United States, or the monitor additional
information relating to California Personnel, including name, job
title, reporting relationships, past experience, responsibilities,
training and educational histories, relevant certifications, and job
performance evaluations. Defendants must also provide to Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets, the United States, or the monitor
information relating to current and accrued compensation and benefits
of California Personnel, including most recent bonuses paid, aggregate
annual compensation, current target or guaranteed bonus, if any, any
retention agreement or incentives, and any other payments due,
compensation or benefits accrued, or promises made to the California
Personnel. If Defendants are barred by any applicable law from
providing any of this information, Defendants must provide, within 10
business days following receipt of the request, the requested
information to the full extent permitted by law and also must provide a
written explanation of Defendants' inability to provide the remaining
information, including specifically identifying the provisions of the
applicable laws.

Defendants must promptly make California Personnel available for
private interviews with Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets
during normal business hours at a mutually agreeable location.
[[Page 7641]]
4. Defendants must not interfere with any effort by Acquirer of the
California Divestiture Assets to employ any California Personnel.
Interference includes offering to increase the compensation or improve
the benefits of California Personnel unless (a) the offer is part of a
company-wide increase in compensation or improvement in benefits that
was announced prior to January 1, 2026 or (b) the offer is approved by
the United States in its sole discretion. Defendants' obligations under
this Paragraph IV.I.4. of this Final Judgment will expire 180 calendar
days after California Divestiture Date.
5. For California Personnel who elect employment with Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets within 180 calendar days of
California Divestiture Date, Defendants must waive all non-compete and
non-disclosure agreements; vest and pay to the California Personnel (or
to Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets for payment to the
employee) on a prorated basis any bonuses, incentives, other salary,
benefits, or other compensation fully or partially accrued at the time
of the transfer of the employee to Acquirer of the California
Divestiture Assets; vest any unvested pension and other equity rights;
and provide all other benefits that those California Personnel
otherwise would have been provided had the California Personnel
continued employment with Defendants, including any retention bonuses
or payments. Defendants may maintain reasonable restrictions on
disclosure by California Personnel of Defendants' proprietary non-
public information that is unrelated to the California Divestiture
Assets and not otherwise required to be disclosed by this Final
Judgment.
6. Non-Solicitation: For a period of six months from California
Divestiture Date, Defendants may not solicit to re-hire California
Personnel who were hired by Acquirer of the California Divestiture
Assets unless (a) an individual is terminated or laid off by Acquirer
of the California Divestiture Assets or (b) Acquirer of the California
Divestiture Assets agrees in writing that Defendants may solicit to re-
hire that individual. Nothing in this Paragraph IV.I.6. prohibits
Defendants from advertising employment openings using general
solicitations or advertisements and re-hiring California Personnel who
apply for an employment opening through a general solicitation or
advertisement.

Divestiture Assets that (1) the California Divestiture Assets will be

Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets with the benefit of
Defendants' licenses, registrations, and permits to the full extent
permissible by law.

Divestiture Assets, and subject to approval by the United States in its

Assets to supply packaged ice to the customers and locations listed in
Schedule 1 to this Final Judgment, as determined by Acquirer of the
California Divestiture Assets, for a period of up to one year, on terms
and conditions reasonably related to market conditions for the supply
of packaged ice. At the option of Acquirer of the California
Divestiture Assets, subject to approval by the United States in its
sole discretion, Defendants must enter into one or more extensions of
any such contract for the supply of packaged ice, on terms and
conditions reasonably related to market conditions for the supply of

option of Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets, subject to
approval by the United States in its sole discretion, Defendants must
enter into one or more extensions of any such contracts for a total of

reasonably related to market conditions for the provision of the
transition services. Any amendment to or modification of any transition
services contract or extension to a transition services contract is
subject to approval by the United States, in its sole discretion. If
Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets seeks an extension of the
term of any contract for transition services, Defendants must notify
the United States in writing at least 30 calendar days prior to the
date the contract expires. Acquirer of the California Divestiture
Assets may terminate a contract (including an extension) for transition
services, or any portion of a contract (including an extension) for
transition services, without cost or penalty upon 30 calendar days
written notice. The employees of Defendants tasked with providing
transition services to Acquirer of the California Divestiture Assets
must not share any competitively sensitive information of Acquirer of
the California Divestiture Assets with any other employee of
Defendants.

California Divestiture Date, Defendants must not initiate customer-
specific communications to solicit any customer for the portion of that

(or portion thereof) that is included in Schedule 1 to this Final
Judgment; provided, however, that (1) starting one year
[[Page 7642]]
following California Divestiture Date, Defendants may respond to

request of such customers (including responding to requests for
quotation or proposal) to supply any business, whether or not such
business was included in the California Divestiture Assets; and (2)
Defendants must maintain a log of telephonic, electronic, in-person,

the California Divestiture Assets, including an agreement to effectuate
the divestiture required by this Final Judgment, varies from a term of
this Final Judgment, to the extent that Defendants cannot fully comply
with both, this Final Judgment determines Defendants' obligations.

written explanation of Defendants' inability to provide the remaining
information, including specifically identifying the provisions of the
applicable laws.
3. At the request of Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets,
Defendants must promptly make Washington Personnel available for
private interviews with Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets
during normal business hours at a mutually agreeable location.
4. Defendants must not interfere with any effort by Acquirer of the
Washington Divestiture Assets to employ any Washington Personnel.
Interference includes offering to increase the compensation or improve
the benefits of Washington Personnel unless (a) the offer is part of a
company-wide increase in compensation or improvement in benefits that
was announced prior to January 1, 2026, or (b) the offer is approved by
the United States in its sole discretion. Defendants' obligations under
this Paragraph VIII.J.4. of this Final Judgment will expire 180
calendar days after Washington Divestiture Date.
5. For Washington Personnel who elect employment with Acquirer of
the Washington Divestiture Assets within 180 calendar days of
Washington Divestiture Date, Defendants must waive all non-compete and
non-disclosure agreements; vest and pay to the Washington Personnel (or
to Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets for payment to the
employee) on a prorated basis any bonuses, incentives, other salary,
benefits, or other compensation fully or partially accrued at the time
of the transfer of the employee to Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets; vest any unvested pension and other equity rights;
and provide all other benefits that those Washington Personnel
otherwise would have been provided had the Washington Personnel
continued employment with Defendants, including any retention bonuses
or payments. Defendants may maintain reasonable restrictions on
disclosure by Washington Personnel of Defendants' proprietary non-
public information that is unrelated to the Washington Divestiture
Assets and not otherwise required to be disclosed by this Final
Judgment.
6. Non-Solicitation: For a period of six months from Washington
Divestiture Date, Defendants may not solicit to re-hire Washington
Personnel who were hired by Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture
Assets unless (a) an individual is terminated or laid off by Acquirer
of the Washington Divestiture Assets or (b) Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets agrees in writing that Defendants may solicit to re-
hire that individual. Nothing in this Paragraph VIII.J.6. prohibits
Defendants from advertising employment openings using general
solicitations or advertisements and re-hiring Washington Personnel who
apply for an employment opening through a general solicitation or
advertisement.
K. Defendants must warrant to Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets that (1) the Washington Divestiture Assets will be
operational and without material defect on the date of their transfer
to Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets; (2) there are no
material defects in the environmental, zoning, or other permits
relating to the operation of the Washington Divestiture Assets; and (3)
Defendants have disclosed all encumbrances on any part of the
Washington Divestiture Assets, including on intangible property.
Following the sale of the Washington Divestiture Assets, Defendants
must not undertake, directly or indirectly, challenges to the
environmental, zoning, or other permits relating to the operation of
the Washington Divestiture Assets.
L. Defendants must use best efforts to assist Acquirer of the
Washington Divestiture Assets to obtain all necessary licenses,
registrations, and permits to operate the Washington Divestiture
Assets. Until Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets obtains the
necessary licenses, registrations, and permits, Defendants must provide
Acquirer of the Washington Divesture Assets with the benefit of
Defendants' licenses, registrations, and permits to the full extent
permissible by law.
M. Supply Contracts:
1. At the option of Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets,
and subject to approval by the United States in its sole discretion, on
or before Washington Divestiture Date, Defendants must enter into a
supply contract or contracts for parts for the maintenance of ISB
Assets sufficient to meet the needs of Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets, as determined by Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture, for a period of up to three years, on terms and conditions
reasonably related to market conditions for the supply of parts for the
maintenance of ISB Assets. At the option of Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets, subject to approval by the United States in its
sole discretion, Defendants must enter into one or more extensions of
any such contracts for a total of up to an additional two years, on
terms and conditions reasonably related to market conditions for the
supply of parts for the maintenance of ISB Assets. Any amendment to or
modification of any provision of any such supply contract or supply
contract extension is subject to approval by the United States, in its
sole discretion. If Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets seeks
an extension of the term of any supply contract, Defendants must notify
the United States in writing at least 90 calendar days prior to the
date the supply contract expires. Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets may terminate a supply contract (including an
extension of a supply contract), or any portion of a supply contract
(including a portion of an extension of a supply contract), without
cost or penalty upon 30 calendar days written notice.
2. At the option of Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets,
and subject to approval by the United States in its sole discretion, on
or before Washington Divestiture Date, Defendants must enter into a
supply contract or contracts for packaged ice sufficient to meet the
needs of Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets to supply
packaged ice to the customers and locations listed in Schedule 5 to
this Final Judgment, as determined by Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture, for a period of up to one year, for the supply of packaged
ice on terms and conditions reasonably related to market conditions for
the supply of packaged ice. At the option of Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets, subject to approval by the United States in its
sole discretion, Defendants must enter
[[Page 7649]]
into one or more extensions of any such contracts for the supply of
packaged ice, on terms and conditions reasonably related to market
conditions for the supply of packaged ice, for a total of up to an
additional two years. Any amendment to or modification of any provision
of any such supply contract or supply contract extension is subject to
approval by the United States, in its sole discretion. If Acquirer of
the Washington Divestiture Assets seeks an extension of the term of any
supply contract, Defendants must notify the United States in writing at
least 90 calendar days prior to the date the supply contract expires.
Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets may terminate a supply
contract (including an extension of a supply contract), or any portion
of a supply contract (including a portion of an extension of a supply
contract), without cost or penalty upon 30 calendar days written
notice.
N. Transition Services: At the option of Acquirer of the Washington
Divestiture Assets, and subject to approval by the United States in its
sole discretion, on or before Washington Divestiture Date, Defendants
must enter into a contract to provide transition services for back
office, accounting, invoicing, customer service, employee health and
safety, and information technology services and support for a period of
up to 180 calendar days on terms and conditions reasonably related to
market conditions for the provision of the transition services. At the
option of Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets, subject to
approval by the United States in its sole discretion, Defendants must
enter into one or more extensions of any such contracts for a total of
up to an additional 180 calendar days, on terms and conditions
reasonably related to market conditions for the provision of the
transition services. Any amendment to or modification of any transition
services contract or extension to a transition services contract is
subject to approval by the United States, in its sole discretion. If
Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets seeks an extension of the
term of any contract for transition services, Defendants must notify
the United States in writing at least 30 calendar days prior to the
date the contract expires. Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture
Assets may terminate a contract (including an extension) for transition
services, or any portion of a contract (including an extension) for
transition services, without cost or penalty upon 30 calendar days
written notice. The employees of Defendants tasked with providing
transition services to Acquirer of the Washington Divestiture Assets
must not share any competitively sensitive information of Acquirer of
the Divestiture Assets with any other employee of Defendants.
O. Non-Compete: For a period of one year following Washington
Divestiture Date, Defendants must not sell any packaged ice to
customers listed in Schedule 5 to this Final Judgment.
P. No Customer Solicitation: For a period of three years following
Washington Divestiture Date, Defendants must not initiate customer-
specific communications to solicit any customer for the portion of that
customer's business covered by a contract, agreement, or relationship
(or portion thereof) that is included in Schedule 5 to this Final
Judgment; provided, however, that (1) Defendants may respond to
inquiries initiated by customers and enter into negotiations at the
request of such customers (including responding to requests for
quotation or proposal) to supply any business, whether or not such
business was included in the Washington Divestiture Assets; and (2)
Defendants must maintain a log of telephonic, electronic, in-person,
and other communications that constitute inquiries or requests from
customers included in the Washington Divestiture Assets and make it
available to the United States for inspection upon request.
Q. If any term of an agreement between Defendants and Acquirer of
the Washington Divestiture Assets, including an agreement to effectuate
the divestiture required by this Final Judgment, varies from a term of
this Final Judgment, to the extent that Defendants cannot fully comply
with both, this Final Judgment determines Defendants' obligations.
IX. Appointment of Divestiture Trustee
A. If Defendants have not divested all of the Divestiture Assets
within the periods specified in Paragraphs IV.A., V.A., VI.A., VII.A.,
and VIII.A. of this Final Judgment, Defendants must immediately notify
the United States of that fact in writing. Upon application of the
United States, which Defendants may not oppose, the Court will appoint
a divestiture trustee selected by the United States and approved by the
Court to effect the divestiture of any of the Divestiture Assets that
have not been sold during the time periods specified in Paragraphs
IV.A., V.A., VI.A., VII.A., and VIII.A. of this Final Judgment.
B. After the appointment of a divestiture trustee by the Court,
only the divestiture trustee will have the right to sell those
Divestiture Assets that the divestiture trustee has been appointed to
sell. The divestiture trustee will have the power and authority to
accomplish the divestitures to an Acquirer or Acquirers acceptable to
the United States, in its sole discretion, at a price and on terms
obtainable through reasonable effort by the divestiture trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII of this
Final Judgment, and will have other powers as the Court deems
appropriate. The divestiture trustee must sell the Divestiture Assets
as quickly as possible.
C. Defendants may not object to a sale by the divestiture trustee
on any ground other than malfeasance by the divestiture trustee.
Objections by Defendants must be conveyed in writing to the United
States and the divestiture trustee within 10 calendar days after the
divestiture trustee has provided the notice of proposed divestiture
required by Section X in this Final Judgment.
D. The divestiture trustee will serve at the cost and expense of
Defendants pursuant to a written agreement, on terms and conditions,
including confidentiality requirements and conflict of interest
certifications, approved by the United States in its sole discretion.
E. The divestiture trustee may hire at the cost and expense of
Defendants any agents or consultants, including investment bankers,
attorneys, and accountants, that are reasonably necessary in the
divestiture trustee's judgment to assist with the divestiture trustee's
duties. These agents or consultants will be accountable solely to the
divestiture trustee and will serve on terms and conditions, including
confidentiality requirements and conflict-of-interest certifications,
approved by the United States in its sole discretion.
F. The compensation of the divestiture trustee and agents or
consultants hired by the divestiture trustee must be reasonable in
light of the value of the Divestiture Assets and based on a fee
arrangement that provides the divestiture trustee with incentives based
on the price and terms of the divestiture and the speed with which it
is accomplished. If the divestiture trustee and Defendants are unable
to reach agreement on the divestiture trustee's compensation or other
terms and conditions of engagement within 14 calendar days of the
appointment of the divestiture trustee by the Court, the United States,
in its sole discretion, may take appropriate action, including by
making
[[Page 7650]]
a recommendation to the Court. Within three business days of hiring an
agent or consultant, the divestiture trustee must provide written
notice of the hiring and rate of compensation to Defendants and the
United States.
G. The divestiture trustee must account for all monies derived from
the sale of the Divestiture Assets by the divestiture trustee and all
costs and expenses incurred. Within 30 calendar days of the Divestiture
Date, the divestiture trustee must submit that accounting to the Court
for approval. After approval by the Court of the divestiture trustee's
accounting, including fees for unpaid services and those of agents or
consultants hired by the divestiture trustee, all remaining money must
be paid to Defendants, and the trust will then be terminated.
H. Defendants must use best efforts to assist the divestiture
trustee to accomplish the required divestitures. Subject to reasonable
protection for trade secrets, other confidential research, development,
or commercial information, or any applicable privileges, Defendants
must provide the divestiture trustee and agents or consultants retained
by the divestiture trustee with full and complete access to all
personnel, books, records, and facilities of the Divestiture Assets.
Defendants also must provide or develop financial and other information
relevant to the Divestiture Assets that the divestiture trustee may
reasonably request. Defendants must not take any action to interfere
with or to impede the divestiture trustee's accomplishment of the
divestitures.
I. The divestiture trustee must maintain complete records of all
efforts made to sell the Divestiture Assets, including by filing
monthly reports with the United States setting forth the divestiture
trustee's efforts to accomplish the divestitures ordered by this Final
Judgment. The reports must include the name, address, and telephone
number of each person who, during the preceding month, made an offer to
acquire, expressed an interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations
to acquire, or was contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring any
interest in the Divestiture Assets and must describe in detail each
contact.
J. If the divestiture trustee has not accomplished the divestitures
ordered by this Final Judgment within 180 calendar days of appointment,
the divestiture trustee must promptly provide the United States with a
report setting forth: (1) the divestiture trustee's efforts to
accomplish the required divestitures; (2) the reasons, in the
divestiture trustee's judgment, why the required divestitures have not
been accomplished; and (3) the divestiture trustee's recommendations
for completing the divestitures. Following receipt of that report, the
United States may make additional recommendations to the Court. The
Court thereafter may enter such orders as it deems appropriate to carry
out the purpose of this Final Judgment, which may include extending the
trust and the term of the divestiture trustee's appointment by a period
requested by the United States.
K. The divestiture trustee will serve until divestiture of all
Divestiture Assets is completed or for a term otherwise ordered by the
Court.
L. If the United States determines that the divestiture trustee is
not acting diligently or in a reasonably cost-effective manner, the
United States may recommend that the Court appoint a substitute
divestiture trustee.
X. Notice of Proposed Divestiture
A. Within two business days following execution of a definitive
divestiture agreement with an Acquirer other than Columbia Basin Ice
for the Washington Divestiture Assets, Dee Zee Ice for the
Massachusetts Divestiture Assets, Natuzzi Ice for the New York
Divestiture Assets, Oregon Ice for the Oregon Divestiture Assets, or
San Diego Ice for the California Divestiture Assets, Defendants or the
divestiture trustee, whichever is then responsible for effecting the
divestitures, must notify the United States of the proposed
divestiture. If the divestiture trustee is responsible for completing
the divestiture, the divestiture trustee also must notify Defendants.
The notice must set forth the details of the proposed divestiture and
list the name, address, and telephone number of each person not
previously identified who offered or expressed an interest in or desire
to acquire any ownership interest in the Divestiture Assets.
B. After receipt by the United States of the notice required by
Paragraph X.A. of this Final Judgment, the United States may make one
or more requests to Defendants or the divestiture trustee for
additional information concerning the proposed divestiture, the
proposed Acquirers, and other prospective Acquirers. Defendants and the
divestiture trustee must furnish any additional information requested
within 15 calendar days of the receipt of each request unless the
United States provides written agreement to a different period.
C. Within 45 calendar days after receipt of the notice required by
Paragraph X.A. of this Final Judgment or within 20 calendar days after
the United States has been provided the additional information
requested pursuant to Paragraph X.B. of this Final Judgment, whichever
is later, the United States will provide written notice to Defendants
and any divestiture trustee that states whether the United States, in
its sole discretion, objects to any proposed Acquirer or any other
aspect of the proposed divestitures. Without written notice that the
United States does not object, a divestiture may not be consummated. If
the United States provides written notice that it does not object, the
divestiture may be consummated, subject only to Defendants' limited
right to object to the sale under Paragraph IX.C. of this Final
Judgment. Upon objection by Defendants pursuant to Paragraph IX.C. of
this Final Judgment, a divestiture by the divestiture trustee may not
be consummated unless approved by the Court.
XI. Financing
Defendants may not finance all or any part of any Acquirer's
purchase of all or part of the Divestiture Assets.
XII. Asset Preservation/Hold Separate Obligations
Defendants must take all steps necessary to comply with the Asset
Preservation/Hold Separate Stipulation and Order entered by the Court.
XIII. Affidavits
A. Within 20 calendar days of entry of the Asset Preservation/Hold
Separate Stipulation and Order, and every 30 calendar days thereafter
until the divestitures required by this Final Judgment have been
completed, each Defendant must deliver to the United States an
affidavit, signed by each Defendant's Chief Financial Officer and
General Counsel (for Arctic Glacier) or Corporate Counsel (for Reddy
Ice), describing in reasonable detail the fact and manner of that
Defendant's compliance with this Final Judgment. The United States, in
its sole discretion, may approve different signatories for the
affidavits.
B. In the event Defendants are attempting to divest the Divestiture
Assets to an Acquirer other than Columbia Basin Ice for the Washington
Divestiture Assets, Dee Zee Ice for the Massachusetts Divestiture
Assets, Natuzzi Ice for the New York Divestiture Assets, Oregon Ice for
the Oregon Divestiture Assets, or San Diego Ice for the California
Divestiture Assets, each affidavit required by Paragraph XIII.A. of
this Final Judgment must include: (1) the name, address, and telephone
number of each person who, during the
[[Page 7651]]
preceding 30 calendar days, made an offer to acquire, expressed an
interest in acquiring, entered into negotiations to acquire, or was
contacted or made an inquiry about acquiring, an interest in the
Divestiture Assets and describe in detail each contact with such
persons during that period; (2) a description of the efforts Defendants
have taken to solicit buyers for and complete the sale of the
Divestiture Assets and to provide required information to prospective
Acquirers; and (3) a description of any limitations placed by
Defendants on information provided to prospective Acquirers. Objection
by the United States to information provided by Defendants to
prospective Acquirers must be made within 14 calendar days of receipt
of the affidavit, except that the United States may object at any time
if the information set forth in the affidavit is not true or complete.
C. Defendants must keep all records of any efforts made to divest
the Divestiture Assets until one year after the Divestiture Date.
D. Within 20 calendar days of entry of the Asset Preservation/Hold
Separate Stipulation and Order, each Defendant must deliver to the
United States an affidavit signed by each Defendant's Chief Financial
Officer and General Counsel (for Arctic Glacier) or Corporate Counsel
(for Reddy Ice) that describes in reasonable detail all actions that
Defendant has taken and all steps that Defendant has implemented on an
ongoing basis to comply with Section XII of this Final Judgment. The
United States, in its sole discretion, may approve different
signatories for the affidavits.
E. If a Defendant makes any changes to actions and steps described
in affidavits provided pursuant to Paragraph XIII.D. of this Final
Judgment, the Defendant must, within 15 calendar days after any change
is implemented, deliver to the United States an affidavit describing
those changes.
F. Defendants must keep all records of any efforts made to comply
with Section XII of this Final Judgment until one year after the
Divestiture Date.
XIV. Appointment of Monitor
A. Upon application of the United States, which Defendants may not
oppose, the Court will appoint a monitor selected by the United States
in its sole discretion and approved by the Court. Defendants may
propose three monitor candidates to the United States. Once approved,
the court-appointed monitor should be considered by the United States
and Defendants to be an arm and representative of the Court.
B. The monitor will have the power and authority to monitor
Defendants' compliance with the terms of this Final Judgment and the
Asset Preservation/Hold Separate Stipulation and Order entered by the
Court and will have other powers as the Court deems appropriate. The
monitor will have no responsibility or obligation for the operation of
the Divestiture Assets or the operation of Defendants' businesses. No
attorney-client relationship will be formed between Defendants and the
monitor.
C. The monitor will have the authority to take such steps as, in
the judgment of the monitor and the United States, may be necessary to
accomplish the monitor's responsibilities. The monitor may seek
information from Defendants' personnel, including in-house counsel,
compliance personnel, and internal auditors. Defendants must establish
a policy, annually communicated to all employees, that employees may
disclose any information to the monitor without reprisal for such
disclosure. Defendants must not retaliate against any employee or third
party for disclosing information to the monitor.
D. Defendants may not object to actions taken by the monitor in
fulfillment of the monitor's responsibilities under any Order of the
Court on any ground other than malfeasance by the monitor.
Disagreements between the monitor and Defendants related to the scope
of the monitor's responsibilities do not constitute malfeasance.
Objections by Defendants must be conveyed in writing to the United
States and the monitor within 20 calendar days of the monitor's action
that gives rise to Defendants' objection, or the objection is waived.
E. The monitor will serve at the cost and expense of Defendants
pursuant to a written agreement, on terms and conditions, including
confidentiality requirements and conflict of interest certifications,
approved by the United States in its sole discretion. If the monitor
and Defendants are unable to reach such a written agreement within 14
calendar days of the Court's appointment of the monitor, or if the
United States, in its sole discretion, declines to approve the proposed
written agreement, the United States, in its sole discretion, may take
appropriate action, including making a recommendation to the Court,
which may set the terms and conditions for the monitor's work,
including compensation, costs, and expenses.
F. The monitor may hire, at the cost and expense of Defendants, any
agents and consultants, including investment bankers, attorneys, and
accountants, that are reasonably necessary in the monitor's judgment to
assist with the monitor's duties. These agents or consultants will be
directed by and solely accountable to the monitor and will serve on
terms and conditions, including confidentiality requirements and
conflict-of-interest certifications, approved by the United States in
its sole discretion. Within three business days of hiring any agents or
consultants, the monitor must provide written notice of the hiring and
the rate of compensation to Defendants and the United States.
G. The compensation of the monitor and agents or consultants
retained by the monitor must be on reasonable and customary terms
commensurate with the individuals' experience and responsibilities.
H. The monitor must account for all costs and expenses incurred.
I. Defendants' failure to promptly pay the monitor's accounted-for
costs and expenses, including for agents and consultants, will
constitute a violation of this Final Judgment and may result in
sanctions ordered by the Court. If Defendants make a timely objection
in writing to the United States to any part of the monitor's accounted-
for costs and expenses, Defendants must establish an escrow account
into which Defendants must pay the disputed costs and expenses until
the dispute is resolved.
J. Defendants must use best efforts to cooperate fully with the
monitor and to assist the monitor to monitor Defendants' compliance
with their obligations under this Final Judgment and the Asset
Preservation/Hold Separate Stipulation and Order. Subject to reasonable
protection for trade secrets, other confidential research, development,
or commercial information, or any applicable privileges, Defendants
must provide the monitor and agents or consultants retained by the
monitor with full and complete access to all personnel (current and
former), agents, consultants, books, records, and facilities.
Defendants may not take any action to interfere with or to impede
accomplishment of the monitor's responsibilities.
K. The monitor must investigate and report on Defendants'
compliance with this Final Judgment and the Asset Preservation/Hold
Separate Stipulation and Order, including Defendants' compliance with
the supply contracts provisions in Paragraphs IV.L., V.J., VI.J.,
VII.L., and VIII.M. of this Final Judgment; the transition services
provisions in Paragraphs IV.M., V.K., VI.K., VII.M., and VIII.N. of
this Final Judgment; the non-compete provisions in Paragraphs IV.N.,
V.L., VI.L., VII.N.,
[[Page 7652]]
and VIII.O. of this Final Judgment; the non-solicitation provisions in
Paragraphs IV.O., V.M., VI.M., VII.O., and VIII.P. of this Final
Judgment; and the Antitrust Compliance program Training in Section XV
of this Final Judgment. The monitor must provide periodic reports to
the United States setting forth Defendants' efforts to comply with
their obligations under this Final Judgment and under the Asset
Preservation/Hold Separate Stipulation and Order. The United States, in
its sole discretion, will set the frequency of the monitor's reports,
but, at minimum, the monitor must provide reports every 90 calendar
days.
L. Within 30 calendar days after appointment of the monitor by the
Court, and on a yearly basis thereafter, the monitor must provide to
the United States and Defendants a proposed written work plan
consistent with the monitor's responsibilities as set forth in this
Section XIV. Defendants may provide comments on the proposed written
work plan to the United States and the monitor within 14 calendar days
after receipt, after which the monitor must produce a final work plan
to the United States and Defendants, for approval by the United States
in its sole discretion. Any disputes between Defendants and the monitor
with respect to any written work plan will be decided by the United
States in its sole discretion. The United States retains the right, in
its sole discretion, to require changes or additions to a work plan at
any time.
M. The monitor may communicate ex parte with the Court when, in the
monitor's judgment, such communication is reasonably necessary to the
monitor's duties under this Final Judgment, including if Defendants
fail to pay the monitor's costs and expenses in a timely manner or
otherwise violate this Final Judgment.
N. The monitor will serve until 90 calendar days after the terms of
all supply contracts or non-solicitation requirements required by this
Final Judgment have expired, whichever is later, unless the United
States, in its sole discretion, determines a different period is
appropriate.
O. If the United States determines that the monitor is not acting
diligently or in a reasonably cost-effective manner, or if the monitor
resigns or becomes unable to accomplish the monitor's duties, the
United States may recommend that the Court appoint a substitute.
XV. Antitrust Compliance Training
Within 90 calendar days of entry of this Final Judgment, and on an
annual basis thereafter for the duration of this Final Judgment,
Defendant Reddy Ice must conduct an antitrust compliance training in a
form and content devised by Defendant Reddy Ice and approved by the
United States in its sole discretion on (i) the meaning and
requirements of this Final Judgment and the Asset Preservation/Hold
Separate Stipulation and Order, and (ii) compliance with federal and
applicable state antitrust laws and guidelines. Defendant Reddy Ice
must provide such training to (i) Defendant Reddy Ice's corporate
leadership (including Defendant Reddy Ice's President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Commercial Officer, or
their corporate equivalents, and their direct reports and (ii) all
employees of Defendant Reddy Ice who communicate in any way with other
manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors of packaged ice. The Chief
Legal Officer of Defendant Reddy Ice must submit an affidavit
certifying compliance with this training requirement within 370
calendar days of entry of this Final Judgment and on an annual basis
thereafter for the duration of this Final Judgment. The United States,
in its sole discretion, may approve a different signatory for the
affidavit.
XVI. Compliance Inspection
A. For the purposes of determining or securing compliance with this
Final Judgment or of related orders such as the Asset Preservation/Hold
Separate Stipulation and Order or of determining whether this Final
Judgment should be modified or vacated, upon the written request of an
authorized representative of the Assistant Attorney General for the
Antitrust Division and reasonable notice to Defendants, Defendants must
permit, from time to time and subject to legally recognized privileges,
authorized representatives, including agents retained by the United
States:

Judgment; and
2. to interview, either informally or on the record, Defendants'

convenience of the interviewee and without restraint or interference by
Defendants.
B. Upon the written request of an authorized representative of the
Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, Defendants must

Judgment.
XVII. Notification
A. Unless a transaction is otherwise subject to the reporting and
waiting period requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 18a (the ``HSR Act''),
Defendants may not, without first providing at least 30 calendar days

Ventures, Partnerships, and Collaborations
A. Defendants may not reacquire any part of or any interest in the
Divestiture Assets during the term of this Final Judgment without prior
written authorization of the United States in its sole discretion. In
addition, during the term of this Final Judgment, Defendants may not,
without the prior written authorization of the United States in its
sole discretion, acquire any part of or any interest in any Acquirer.
B. During the term of this Final Judgment, Defendants may not enter
into a new joint venture, partnership, or collaboration, including any
distribution or co-packing agreement, with any Acquirer, except that
after five years from the date of entry of this Final Judgment, the
United States may, in its sole discretion, permit Defendants to enter
into distribution or co-packing agreements with Acquirers. Further, the
United States may, in its sole discretion, approve distribution or co-
packing agreements between Defendants and Acquirers even during the
period when such agreements are prohibited by this Final Judgment.
XIX. Public Disclosure
A. No information or documents obtained pursuant to any provision
in this Final Judgment, including reports the monitor provides to the
United States pursuant to Paragraphs XIV.K. and XIV.L. of this Final
Judgment, may be divulged by the United States or the monitor to any
person other than an authorized representative of the executive branch
of the United States, except in the course of legal proceedings to
which the United States is a party, including grand-jury proceedings,
for the purpose of evaluating a proposed Acquirer or securing
compliance with this Final Judgment, or as otherwise required by law.
B. In the event that the monitor receives a subpoena, court order,
or other court process seeking or requiring production of information
or documents obtained pursuant to any provision in this Final Judgment,
including reports the monitor provides to the United States pursuant to
Paragraphs XIV.K. and XIV.L. of this Final Judgment, the monitor must
notify the United States and Defendants immediately and prior to any
disclosure, so that Defendants may address such potential disclosure
and, if necessary, pursue alternative legal remedies, including if
deemed appropriate by Defendants, intervention in the relevant
proceedings.
C. In the event of a request by a third party, pursuant to the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, for disclosure of information
obtained pursuant to any provision of this Final Judgment, the United
States will act in accordance with that statute and the Department of
Justice regulations at 28 CFR part 16, including the provision on
confidential commercial information at 28 CFR 16.7. Defendants
submitting information to the Antitrust Division should designate the
confidential commercial information portions of all applicable
documents and information under 28 CFR 16.7. Designations of
confidentiality expire 10 years after submission, ``unless the
submitter requests and provides justification for a longer designation
period.'' See 28 CFR 16.7(b).
D. If at the time that Defendants furnish information or documents
to the United States pursuant to any provision of this Final Judgment,
Defendants represent and identify in writing information or documents
for which a claim of protection may be asserted under Rule 26(c)(1)(G)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Defendants mark each
pertinent page of such material, ``Subject to claim of protection under
Rule 26(c)(1)(G) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,'' the United
States must give Defendants 10 calendar days notice before divulging
the material in any legal proceeding (other than a grand jury
proceeding).
XX. Retention of Jurisdiction
The Court retains jurisdiction to enable any party to this Final
Judgment to apply to the Court at any time for further orders and
directions as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out or construe
this Final Judgment, to modify any of its provisions, to enforce
compliance, and to punish violations of its provisions.
XXI. Enforcement of Final Judgment
A. If at any time during the five-year period following entry of
this Final Judgment, the United States determines in its sole
discretion that the Final Judgment has failed to fully redress the
violations alleged in the Complaint, then the United States may re-open
this proceeding to seek additional relief, including divestiture of
additional assets. Such additional relief may be ordered by this Court
upon a finding by a preponderance of the evidence that there is a
reasonable probability that the proposed Final Judgment did not fully
redress the violations alleged in the Complaint.
B. The United States retains and reserves all rights to enforce the
provisions of this Final Judgment, including the right to seek an order
of contempt from the Court. In a civil contempt action, a motion to
show cause, or a similar action brought by the United States relating
to an alleged violation of this Final Judgment, the United States may
establish a violation of this Final Judgment and the appropriateness of
a remedy therefor by a preponderance of the evidence, and Defendants
waive any argument that a different standard of proof should apply.
C. This Final Judgment should be interpreted to give full effect to
the procompetitive purposes of the antitrust laws and to restore the
competition the United States alleges was harmed by the challenged
conduct. Defendants may be held in contempt of, and the Court may
enforce, any provision of this Final Judgment that, as interpreted by
the Court in light of these procompetitive principles and applying
ordinary tools of interpretation, is stated specifically and in
reasonable detail, whether or not it is clear and unambiguous on its
face. In any such interpretation, the terms of this Final Judgment
should not be construed against either party as the drafter.
D. In an enforcement proceeding in which the Court finds that
Defendants have violated this Final Judgment, the United States may
apply to the Court for an extension of this Final Judgment, together
with other relief that may be appropriate. In connection with a
successful effort by the United States to enforce this Final Judgment
against a Defendant, whether litigated or resolved before litigation,
that Defendant must reimburse the United States for the fees and
expenses of its attorneys, as well as all other costs including
experts' fees, incurred in connection with that effort to enforce this
Final Judgment, including during the investigation of the potential
violation.
E. For a period of four years following the expiration of this
Final Judgment, if the United States has evidence that a Defendant
violated this Final Judgment before it expired, the United States may
file an action against that Defendant in this Court requesting that the
Court order: (1) Defendant to comply with the terms of this Final
Judgment for an additional term of at least four years following the
filing of the enforcement
[[Page 7654]]
action; (2) all appropriate contempt remedies; (3) additional relief
needed to ensure the Defendant complies with the terms of this Final
Judgment; and (4) fees or expenses as called for by Section XXI of this
Final Judgment.
XXII. Expiration of Final Judgment
Unless the Court grants an extension, this Final Judgment will
expire 10 years from the date of its entry, except that after five
years from the date of its entry, this Final Judgment may be terminated
upon notice by the United States to the Court and Defendants that the
divestitures have been completed and continuation of this Final
Judgment is no longer necessary or in the public interest.
XXIII. Public Interest Determination
Entry of this Final Judgment is in the public interest. The parties
have complied with the requirements of the Antitrust Procedures and
Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16, including by making available to the
public copies of this Final Judgment and the Competitive Impact
Statement, public comments thereon, and any response to comments by the
United States. Based upon the record before the Court, which includes
the Competitive Impact Statement and, if applicable, any comments and
response to comments filed with the Court, entry of this Final Judgment
is in the public interest.
