  • 7-day deadline for implementing CFIUS-required access controls

Near term (90d)

Long term

  • 90-day CFIUS verification period post-divestment certification

Risks & tensions

  • Retroactive prohibition of completed 2020 transaction may create legal uncertainty for other past CFIUS-reviewed deals
  • 120-day divestment timeline for complex technology assets with global operations is aggressive
  • Requirement to destroy/transfer IP and source code raises valuation and buyer-attractiveness challenges
  • CFIUS buyer approval criteria (U.S. citizenship, no ties to Purchasers) may narrow buyer pool and depress sale price
  • Potential evasion/circumvention by Affiliates given complex corporate structures
  • Tension between national security imperative and due process concerns if procedural requirements are later found deficient
