Note 2 of the UK Takeover Code
Note 2 of the UK Takeover Code reads as follows:
"2. When a statement may be set aside
Except with the consent of the Panel, a statement to which Rule 2.8 applies may be set aside only if:
(a) the board of the offeree company agrees to the statement being set aside. Where the statement was made at any time following the announcement by a third party of a firm intention to make an offer, the statement may not normally be set aside with the agreement of the board of the offeree company unless that offer has been withdrawn or has lapsed;
(b) a third party announces a firm intention to make an offer for the offeree company;
(c) the offeree company announces a ''whitewash'' proposal (see Note 1 of the Notes on Dispensations from Rule 9) or a reverse takeover;
(d) the Panel determines that there has been a material change of circumstances; or
(e) the statement was made outside an offer period and an event has occurred which was specified in the statement as being an event which would enable the statement to be set aside (see Note 1).
The Panel will normally regard a switch by a third party offeror from a scheme of arrangement to a contractual offer in accordance with Section 8 of Appendix 7, or an announcement of its firm intention to do so, as a material change of circumstances under paragraph (d). However, a switch from a contractual offer to a scheme of arrangement will not normally be regarded as a material change of circumstances."
