PlayPower abandons bid for rival Burke after FTC merger lawsuit

The FTC's Bureau of Competition confirms PlayPower and owner Platinum Equity have dropped their proposed acquisition of BCI Burke, a week after the agency and a dozen states sued to block it. This brief statement sets out the FTC's view of market concentration and the deal's effect on school, church and municipal playground buyers.

  • PlayPower and Platinum Equity abandoned the proposed acquisition of BCI Burke after the FTC and a dozen states sued to block the merger.
  • The FTC says the top five manufacturers of commercial outdoor playground equipment, including PlayPower and Burke, control 85%-90% of the market.
  • The proposed merger would have cut the number of major competitors from five to four.
  • The deal would have given PlayPower's owners control over more than 30% of the relevant market.
  • The FTC describes this as the latest in a series of acquisitions by PlayPower.

FTC asks court to hold Shkreli in contempt over lifetime pharma ban

The FTC and seven state co-plaintiffs have moved to hold Martin Shkreli in civil contempt of a 2022 court order permanently barring him from the pharmaceutical industry. They allege he traded in pharma stocks and broadcast views on drug companies online. The filing seeks divestment, disgorgement of trading profits without offsetting losses, and escalating future penalties including possible incarceration.

  • The FTC and seven states filed a civil contempt motion against Martin Shkreli on October 13, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
  • The motion alleges Shkreli publicly traded in pharmaceutical stocks of at least 60 companies and broadcast opinions about drug companies since his release from prison in May 2022.
  • The 2022 injunction banned Shkreli from directly or indirectly participating in the pharmaceutical industry, including holding an ownership interest or influencing a pharmaceutical company's management.
  • Sanctions sought include divestment of pharma stocks, a fine equal to trading profits plus prejudgment interest with no offset for losses, and potential incarceration for future violations.
  • The Commission vote to authorise the filing was 1-0; Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson is recused and Commissioner Mark R. Meador issued a statement.

FTC clears Publicis-LiveRamp deal on condition of five-year data firewalls

The FTC has approved, subject to conditions, Publicis Groupe's $2.2 billion acquisition of LiveRamp, the data connectivity provider used across the digital advertising industry. The order imposes five years of nondiscrimination, firewall and audit obligations to stop Publicis using its ownership of LiveRamp to disadvantage rival media agencies or misuse competitors' customer data. The public comment period runs 30 days.

  • Publicis Groupe S.A. is acquiring 100% of LiveRamp Holdings Inc. in a $2.2 billion deal.
  • The FTC alleged the deal would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act by harming competition in media agency services and audience data services markets.
  • For five years, Publicis and LiveRamp must provide non-discriminatory access to LiveRamp's standalone products and are barred from denying, degrading, delaying or impairing that access.
  • An independent auditor must review compliance every six months for the first two years post-closing, then annually for three more years.
  • The Commission vote to issue the complaint and accept the consent agreement was 2-0, with a 30-day public comment period now open.
