About the Work
This work comments on the entire Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG) as well as the relevant provisions of the applicable regulations (WpÜG-AnwendbVO, WpÜG-BeaufsMittVO, WiderspruchsausschussVO, AngebVO, GebührenVO), the Stock Corporation Act (AktG) (Sections 327 et seq.), the Transformation Act (UmwG) (Section 62 (5)), and the Takeover Directive (Directive 2004/25/EC on takeover bids) at the relevant points. A particular focus is placed on the views of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), which are usually decisive in practical applications. Disputed issues are presented in a balanced manner, with academic rigor, but always from a practical perspective.
