Can anyone direct me to where I would find information on the laws regarding take overs.

Off the top of my head it's: if a person/entity takes greater than 19.99% stake in company they must make formal offer for rest of company? (yes/no?)

Also, is there a minimum share holding (%) at which a entity/member can demand a board seat?

At what point can an entity compulsory acquire the rest of the shares on issue?

TIA

Re: Takeovers

Got your eyes on BHP?

Yeh, it's next on the list after Goldman Sachs

Also, if anyone could direct me towards where I could find rules regarding the actual take over offer ie. does the offer need to be fair/certain minimum premium to market value etc?
