Description of A Practitioner's Guide to The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers 2008/2009 |
“The Takeover Code is principally designed to ensure high business standards and fairness to shareholders. In the 40 years of its existence, the Takeover Panel has established a reputation for operating flexibly and rapidly as new situations have arisen and market practice has developed.
In late 2007 the Code Committee published RS 2007/1, which outlines a number of amendments to the Takeover Code as it applies to schemes of arrangement. There has been a significant increase in recent years in the use of schemes to effect takeovers, and the new changes aim to codify existing practice, making the application of the Code to schemes more transparent and certain.
The new regime introduces an appendix specifically for schemes, amends existing provisions of the Code and creates a list of Code provisions which should be disapplied when a scheme is used.
Since its first publication in 1988, A Practitioner’s Guide to The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers has become a valuable resource for all those working in this area. The publication of a new edition each year will continue to help readers keep up to date with the latest regulatory developments. We welcome this 20th Edition.”
