Takeovers—Market tracker deal type

Details of announced takeover transactions can be viewed using our Market Standards deal analysis tool. This tool allows users to filter searches based on criteria such as the structure of the transaction (contractual offer or scheme), the jurisdiction of the parties, the form of consideration structure (eg cash, securities or loan notes) and the industry sector in which the offeree operates. The Market Standards tool can be used either to source a suitable precedent (such as a 2.7 announcement or offer document) or to search for particular clauses for inclusion in the announcements and offer documentation.
