The Takeover Code

Exploring recent changes to the Takeover Code and their impact on market practice

Introduction

The M&A landscape is becoming increasingly regulated. Following changes to the UK Takeover Code, bidders must now clarify their position within weeks under the new "put up or shut up" regime and deal protection measures have been severely restricted. It is essential that boards and their advisers are accurately guided through the process to ensure a successful takeover.

Butterworths’ The Takeover Code conference will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the most recent changes to ensure you are at the very forefront of evolving takeover practice in the UK.

Chaired by Chris Pearson of Norton Rose LLP, our unrivalled speaker panel, including Tony Pullinger of The Takeover Panel, will provide you with a deep understanding of these critical developments and prevailing market practice for future takeover transactions.
