Statute overview

About this statute

A person who gains control of a Dutch public company with listed shares must make a public takeover offer, unless a listed exception applies. A public offer on Dutch regulated-market securities is also forbidden unless an approved bid document has been made generally available. For public takeover bids on securities traded on a regulated Dutch market, the bidder generally needs an approved offer memorandum first, must reference that memorandum in public statements, and must follow several timing and price rules.
