- South Korea’s Financial Services Commission plans to create guidance for disclosures during corporate takeover offers.
- The guidance will address what information must be disclosed and the deadlines for disclosure after an offer is received.
- The commission signed an advisory contract with Kim & Chang as it works to reduce information gaps and protect ordinary shareholders.
South Korea’s Financial Services Commission is preparing detailed rules for disclosure during corporate takeover bids. The work focuses on what information companies must release and how quickly they must release it after receiving an acquisition proposal.
The commission has signed an advisory contract with Kim & Chang to help develop the guidance. The initiative specifically targets hostile M&A situations, where bidders and target companies may hold different information.
The stated aim is to narrow that information gap and give ordinary shareholders clearer access to details about takeover offers. The available text does not specify the final disclosure requirements or when the guidance will take effect.
