There has been plenty of activity in the takeovers space over the last 18 months, and we expect that to continue for the remainder of this year and into next year. Recent transactions have seen a resurgence in offers under the Takeovers Code, the use of stake-building, and greater proactive involvement by institutional shareholders.
We therefore thought it was timely to update our Takeovers Guide.
As a firm, we have acted on a substantial portion of the recent takeovers, including advising:
Rakon on its takeover offer from Bourns;
Smartpay on its scheme of arrangement with Shift4;
Finaccess Restauración, S.L. on its acquisition of the remaining shares in Restaurant Brands;
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand on its response to the takeover offer from its majority shareholder, CDL; and
Contact Energy on its scheme of arrangement with Manawa Energy.
