Panel Publishes Revised Guidance Note 14 – Funding arrangements

The Takeovers Panel today published a revised version of Guidance Note 14 - Funding arrangements.

On 6 October 2015, the Panel issued a consultation paper in relation to proposed changes to Guidance Note 14. The Panel received 3 submissions in response. All supported the proposed change to address the recent decision of the Federal Court in ASIC v Mariner Corporation and clarify the policy basis for the guidance note.

The revised Guidance Note is available on the Panel's website.
