Public M&A EP28: Takeover approaches and the Market Abuse Regulation

Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts

In this episode of our public M&A podcast series, we discuss Primary Market Bulletin 52 where the FCA reminds companies that they need to consider the UK Market Abuse Regulation, as well as the Takeover Code, if they receive an approach about a possible takeover offer.
In the podcast, we discuss:

• when an approach about a possible offer will be inside information;
• why it matters; and
• what happens if the target rejects the approach.
