Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code (the "Code")
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% 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 pm
(London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the
offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (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 Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested
in 1% 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,
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 pm (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.
