Highlights include:\u00a0 Repeat\u2011filer threshold: The foreign investor (inclusive of subsidiaries) must have filed \u22653 covered transactions or covered real\u2011estate transactions with CFIUS in the past 3 years, with at least one concluded via notice or declaration; and expects \u22651 filing [&hellip;]"}
