1 TIMETABLE FOR A TAKEOVER The time it takes to complete a takeover depends on a number of factors, including whether or not: There are any regulatory issues or the need for bidder shareholder consent The offer is to be recommended; and It is structured as a contractual takeover offer or a scheme of arrangement. Example timetables for a contractual offer and a scheme of arrangement are set out in the appendices below. Both assume that no regulatory clearances (e.g. in relation to anti-trust) are required as part of the takeover process. A summary of the key stages of a takeover bid are set out in chronological order below. An informal approach is made by the bidder s management (or the bidder s financial advisers) to the target s management (often to the target s chairman) and/or its retained financial advisers. A non-binding (private) indicative offer letter is sent by the bidder s management (or the bidder s financial advisers) to the target s management, setting out the basic details of the bidder s indicative offer. This typically includes offer price, timing, basic due diligence information requests and material conditions to an offer. If the offer price and general nature of conditions are agreed, due diligence on the target will commence, which will often take between two and six weeks. The public announcement of a firm intention to bid is released by the bidder. From the date of announcement, the bidder has 28 days to post the offer document or scheme document to target shareholders. The next steps will depend on the type of offer. For contractual takeover offers: Within 60 days of posting the offer document the offer must have met its shareholder acceptance condition or such acceptance condition must have been waived. As a minimum, to enable the offer to close, sufficient of the target s voting shares must have been acquired by the bidder/accepted the offer such that the bidder would hold more than 50 per cent of the target s voting shares. 21 days after the shareholder acceptance condition has been met all other conditions to an offer must have been satisfied or waived. The offer then becomes wholly unconditional. For schemes of arrangement: No sooner than 21 days after the scheme document is posted target shareholders are to hold shareholder meetings to approve the scheme.
2 Approximately 20 days after it is approved by target shareholders, the scheme is approved by the UK High Court. Within one or two days of court approval the target files the necessary court orders at the Companies Registry and the scheme immediately becomes effective. The target company is de-listed from the London Stock Exchange. In the case of contractual offers where the bidder has acquired at least 75 per cent of the target s shares, and has given appropriate notice to the London Stock Exchange, no separate shareholder approval is required. The consideration is paid to target shareholders within 14 days of the takeover becoming unconditional/ effective. For contractual offers, the re-registration of the target company as a private limited company and the compulsory squeeze-out process (in relation to minority/ dissenting shareholders) may commence shortly thereafter. The probable need to undertake a compulsory squeeze-out can mean that even on a recommended offer it takes longer for a bidder to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in the target if it makes a contractual takeover offer rather than initiating a takeover by way of a scheme of arrangement. If you would like further information or assistance on any aspect of UK takeover offers, please contact the person at Brabners with whom you usually deal or: David Bowcock Head of Corporate (Manchester) Tel: david.bowcock@brabners.com Andrew Millar Partner - Corporate Tel: andrew.millar@brabners.com

Subsequent re-registration of target as a private company often requires a general meeting of target shareholders on 14/21 clear days notice and, potentially, a waiting period thereafter Day 95 Cash consideration to be posted to shareholders (assuming the offer was only declared wholly unconditional on Day 81) since consideration to be posted within 14 days after offer wholly unconditional
