The principal analysis in Comparative Takeover Regulation relates to the role of takeover regulation in different economies. In the Asian context, the nature of takeover regulation may necessitate a different approach, with greater emphasis on the mandatory bids and disclosure of substantial shareholding. The likelihood of hostile takeovers will be minimal. It is these differences among various jurisdictions that strike at the heart of Varottil and Wan's new work. Ideal for educational institutions that teach corporate law, corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions, as well as for law firms, corporate counsel and other practitioners, Comparative Takeover Regulation provides students and scholars with brand new analysis of this increasingly important field of study"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Consolidation and merger of corporations -- Law and legislation -- Asia Corporation law -- Asia Minority stockholders -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Asia Consolidation and merger of corporations -- Law and legislation.
