egal Terms - City Code on Takeovers and Mergers
a set of guidelines that govern people who perform public company takeovers and mergers. The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, which is composed of representatives from significant financial and commercial organizations, is in charge of overseeing it. The main goals of the Code are to guarantee that shareholders of the same class are treated equally in the case of a takeover or merger, that company members, not the directors, decide whether or not to accept an offer, and that they are fully informed about what is happening. A decision made by the Panel has binding effect under the Companies Act of 2006, subject to any appeals or reviews, and to the extent provided in the regulations (section 945).
