Public M&A EP3: Statements of intention on a takeover offer

In this podcast, we look at statements of intention under the Takeover Code including:- what standards apply under the Takeover Code to a statement of intention- the key intention statements required on an offer and - what happens if a party decides it cannot or no longer wants to follow a particular course of action.In the current environment, it will be particularly important for those involved in public M&A to think carefully about their statements of intention, both on bids that are currently live and on bids that are now closed, as the COVID-19 pandemic may affect their ability to follow their stated intentions.Speakers: Robert Moore and Antonia Kirkby
