Welcome to Morgan Lewis’s Takeover Monitor Germany. This publication aims to provide funds, public and private companies, and other entities involved in capital markets transactions with a regular documentation of current public tender offers under the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG). With this special issue we supplement the documentation with respect to recent judgments of the German Federal Court of Justice relating to public tender offers under the WpÜG, and legislative developments relating to German takeover law.
