UK Public M&A podcast Ep 30: Changes to the rules on the companies to which the Takeover Code applies now in force

In this episode of our public M&A podcast series, we talk about the changes to the Takeover Code which came into force Monday 3 February 2025, and narrow the categories of company to which the Code applies.

In the episode, we discuss:

• the companies to which the Code still applies under the new rules;
• which companies are no longer in scope and the transitional arrangements that apply to them; and
• what happens when a company delists after 3 February 2025.

To listen to the full conversation please visit SoundCloud, Spotify or Apple.

In addition:

• the page setting out the Companies to which the Code applies is here; and
• the Notes to Advisers which we mention in the podcast are available here.
