Takeovers Panel

The Takeovers Panel is an independent body in Australia that oversees and regulates corporate takeovers and mergers. Its primary role is to ensure fairness and transparency in transactions involving the acquisition of companies. The Panel resolves disputes between parties involved in takeovers, ensuring that all stakeholders, like shareholders, are treated equitably. It can intervene if it believes that the rules of takeover bids are not being followed, helping maintain a level playing field in the market. The aim is to protect investors and promote confidence in the integrity of the corporate sector.
