Committed Capital Sidecar | CFIUS, Springing Rights and the Equity Stack

Despite evaluating fewer transactions for potential national security risks, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is taking longer than ever to complete its reviews, significantly impacting deal closing timelines for PE transactions involving foreign investors.

In this Sidecar episode, Dechert private equity partner Bernardo Piereck and national security partners Jeremy Zucker and Hrishikesh Hari discuss the current length of CFIUS reviews, insights into the Committee’s mitigation measures as detailed in its annual report to Congress, and steps that investors can take to structure their transactions with CFIUS considerations in mind.
