Response of Plaintiff United States to
Public Comment on the Proposed Final
Judgment
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act
(the ‘‘APPA’’ or ‘‘Tunney Act’’), 15
U.S.C. 16, the United States hereby
responds to the one public comment
received regarding the proposed Final
Judgment in this case. After careful
consideration of the submitted
comment, the United States continues to
believe that the civil penalties and
injunctive relief required by the
proposed Final Judgment provides an
effective and appropriate remedy for the
violation alleged in the Complaint and
is therefore in the public interest. The
United States will move the Court for
entry of the proposed Final Judgment
after the public comment and this
response have been published as
required by 15 U.S.C. 16(d).

On July 26, 2021, Defendants Verdun
Oil Company II LLC (‘‘Verdun’’) and EP
Energy LLC (‘‘EP’’) entered into a
Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement (‘‘Purchase Agreement’’)
whereby Verdun proposed to acquire EP
for approximately $1.4 billion. The
proposed transaction was subject to
notification and waiting-period
requirements imposed by Section 7A of
the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a,
commonly known as the Hart-ScottRodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976 (the ‘‘HSR Act’’). Defendants made
the required pre-merger notification
filing with the antitrust agencies; they
failed, however, to satisfy their waitingperiod obligations. Instead, upon
executing the Purchase Agreement, EP
allowed Verdun and its sister company,
Defendant XCL Resources Holdings,
LLC (‘‘XCL’’), to assume operational and
decision-making control over significant
aspects of EP’s day-to-day business
operations.

The United States filed a civil
antitrust Complaint against Defendants
on January 7, 2025, seeking civil
penalties and equitable relief for the
violation of the HSR Act. The Complaint
alleges that Defendants were in
continuous violation of the HSR Act
from July 26, 2021, through October 27,
2021, when Defendants amended the
Purchase Agreement and Verdun and
XCL ceased exercising operational
control over EP’s business. See Dkt. No.
1–1.
At the same time the Complaint was
filed, the United States filed a proposed
Final Judgment and a Stipulation and
Order in which the United States and
Defendants consent to entry of the
proposed Final Judgment after
compliance with the requirements of the
Tunney Act, 15 U.S.C. 16. See Dkt. Nos.
1–2, 1–3. The proposed Final Judgment
requires Defendants to pay civil
penalties totaling of $5,684,377 within
30 days of entry of the Final Judgment,
prohibits Defendants from engaging in
specified conduct designed to prevent
future violations of the HSR Act, and
imposes compliance and compliancereporting obligations.
Pursuant to the APPA’s requirements,
the United States filed a Competitive
Impact Statement (‘‘CIS’’) on January 7,
2025, describing the transaction and the
proposed Final Judgment. See Dkt. No.
1–4. On January 21, 2025, the United
States published the Complaint,
proposed Final Judgment, and CIS in
the Federal Register, see 90 FR 7159,
and caused notice regarding the same,
together with directions for the
submission of written comments
relating to the proposed Final Judgment,
to be published in The Washington Post
for seven days, from January 15, 2025
through January 21, 2025. The 60-day
period for public comment ended on
March 24, 2025. The United States
received one comment, attached as
Exhibit A.
II. The Complaint and the Proposed
Final Judgment
The Complaint alleges that
Defendants were in continuous
violation of the HSR Act each day
beginning on July 26, 2021, and ending
on October 27, 2021, when XCL and
Verdun ceased exercising operational
control over relevant aspects of EP’s
business.
The HSR Act’s reporting and waitingperiod requirements apply to a
transaction if, as a result of the
transaction, the acquirer will ‘‘hold’’
assets or voting securities valued above
the applicable thresholds. Under HSR
Rule 801.1(c), to ‘‘hold’’ assets or voting
securities means ‘‘beneficial ownership,
