On 5 May 2025, the Securities Industry Council released a consultation paper proposing considerable amendments to the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (Code). These amendments seek to enhance the regulation of take-overs and mergers in Singapore by taking into account evolving market practices and standards in other jurisdictions, particularly those in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, since the last revision of the Code in 2019.
This update discusses some of the more significant amendments.
