The Takeover Code
Although the economy has been struggling of late, this has not hindered the evolution of takeover practice and amendments to the Code are still being made. A new disclosure regime is being debated and hostile takeovers are certainly making a comeback, resulting in part from the tough economic conditions. You must be up to date with the latest practice to ensure you are ahead of the game when it comes to public takeovers.
Highlights of the day include:
