Course programme
Course review:
Participants will learn about how the Takeover Panel operates in practice and how to apply the six general principles. They will master the issues involved in approaching target companies, making announcements, giving independent advice and complying with share dealing restrictions.
They will also gain a strong understanding of voluntary, mandatory and partial offers as well as the principles of the bid timetable and the conduct of the parties during an offer period.
They will be able to advise clients on the circumstances when the Code is applicable, the relevance of the key rules of the Code, the application of the Code in practice and the documentation requirements of the Panel.
The course takes account of the changes announced in September 2011 where relevant.
