Our corporate team assesses the key trends and developments in the UK's fast-moving deal scene.
In our public M&A podcast series, we discuss themes, developments and topical issues we see on public M&A transactions in the UK.
Latest episode: Offering securities as consideration on a takeover
In this episode of our public M&A podcast series, we talk about share for share takeovers, or securities exchange offers.
We look at the issues that need to be considered in the context of these deals under:
- the new regime for offers of securities and prospectuses;
- the Takeover Code; and
- the UK Listing Rules.
We also discuss whether we are likely to see more offers with share consideration in light of the new prospectus regime that came into force in January this year.
Speakers: Antonia Kirkby, Knowledge Counsel, Michael Jacobs, Partner, Head of Equity Capital Markets and Sarah Ries-Coward, Partner.
