Public M&A EP22: UK Takeover Panel consultation on which companies should be subject to the Code

In our latest Herbert Smith Freehills public M&A podcast we discuss the consultation by the UK Takeover Panel to narrow the scope of companies to which the Takeover Code applies. We discuss: • who will be in scope under the proposed new rules • which companies will cease to be subject to the Code, and the transitional provisions for those companies • when we expect the rules to come into force and • our thoughts on the proposals. Speakers: Antonia Kirkby, Professional Support Consultant and Laura Ackroyd, Partner
