Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 17, 2013, Service Corporation International ("SCI") and Stewart Enterprises, Inc. (“Stewart”) each announced that they had received a request for additional information, commonly referred to as a “second request,” from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in connection with SCI's pending acquisition of Stewart. The second request extended the waiting period to consummate the proposed acquisition under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 until the 30th day after substantial compliance by SCI and Stewart with the request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. On September 3, 2013, Stewart and SCI entered into an agreement (the “Timing Agreement”) with the FTC not to consummate the proposed acquisition prior to 90 days after both SCI and Stewart certify substantial compliance with the second requests, or December 13, 2013, whichever comes earlier. The Timing Agreement does not prevent the parties from consummating the proposed acquisition sooner if the FTC grants early termination, closes its investigation or accepts for public comment a proposed consent agreement settling the matter. SCI and Stewart are preparing responses to the second requests and continue to anticipate that the acquisition will be completed in late 2013 or early 2014.
