Public M&A EP40: Takeover Panel consultation on miscellaneous changes to the UK Takeover Code

from Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Podcasts Hosted by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Podcasts

In this episode of our public M&A podcast series, we talk about the UK Takeover Panel's latest consultation (PCP 2026/1) on a series of miscellaneous changes to the Takeover Code. Proposals being consulted on include: when a voting agreement between a shareholder and the directors of a company will result in them being treated as acting in concert; a change to the definition of "reverse takeover"; and a change to the rules on extending a put up or shut up (PUSU) deadline.
