Disclosure requirements of the
Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover
Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or more of any
class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any
securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an
offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer
is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening
Position Disclosure following the commencement of the offer period
and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities
exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position
Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short
positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities
of each of (i) the offeree company; and (ii) any securities
exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to
whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m.
(London time) on the 10th business day following
the commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no
later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the
10th business day following the announcement in
which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant
persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company
or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for
making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing
Disclosure.
Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover
Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. or
more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or
of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure
if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree
company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure
must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's
interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any
relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company; and (ii)
any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these
details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing
Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by
no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the business day following
the date of the relevant dealing.
If two or more persons act together
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities
of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule
8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must
also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing
Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any
offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see
Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).
Details of the offeree and offeror
companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position
Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in
the Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel's website
at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk,
including details of the number of relevant securities in issue,
when the offer period commenced and when any offeror was first
identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit
on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you
are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing
Disclosure.
