Notably, the agency alleged that several of the purchases were made after Mr. Werner became aware that prior purchases violated the Act. Separately, investment fund operator Biglari Holdings Inc. agreed to a $1.4 million civil penalty in settlement of claims that acquiring Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. violated the HSR Act. According to the agency, the acquisitions, together with the firm's prior holdings in the company, triggered a reporting requirement as a result of exceeding a notification threshold beyond the 5 year period allowable under the firms' earlier filing.
