For the past several years Cleary Gottlieb has published legal and practical information regarding German public M&A transactions.  For the new edition of the compilation Public Bids and Squeeze-Outs in Germany, a Statistical Survey (2002 – 2016), we have collected and analyzed information related to public bids and squeeze-outs in Germany from January 2002 through December 2016.

The content of the publication is divided into three surveys:

  • Survey I contains detailed information on 472 tender offers, takeover offers and/or mandatory offers launched under the Takeover Act.
  • Survey II offers information on 145 exemptions from the obligation to make a mandatory bid in situations where control is gained over a target.
  • Survey III presents data regarding 509 squeeze-outs of minority shareholders of German stock corporations.

We hope this compilation of data will be a useful resource regarding public bids and squeeze-outs in Germany. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact Gabriele Apfelbacher (gapfelbacher@cgsh.com), Oliver Schröder (oschroeder@cgsh.com) or Michael J. Ulmer (mulmer@cgsh.com).
