RG 25 Takeovers: False and misleading statements

The regulator issued Regulatory Guide 25 to provide guidance to market participants, including bidders, targets, and substantial holders, regarding public statements made during takeover bids. The document addresses the principle of 'truth in takeovers' by identifying statements commonly made in this context that may be misleading or deceptive. It serves as a compliance resource to help entities avoid making false or misleading representations while conducting takeover activities.
