Don’t throw cautionaries to the wind: Navigating communication about potential affected transactions

In the context of “ affected transactions ”, which are transactions that are regulated in terms of the Takeover Regulations (see section 117(1)(c) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act)), it is well-established and understood that the publication of a “ firm intention announcement ” (FIA) in respect of an affected transaction is a watershed event. The publication of an FIA triggers the commencement of the “ offer period ” (firm offer period) in respect of an affected transaction. From this point, the applicable offeror is bound to make a firm offer to the offeree-regulated company or its shareholders, as applicable, and to see the affected transaction to completion on and subject to the salient terms and conditions set out in theFIA.
