Ruling: The Supreme Court ruled that the mandatory tender offer rule applies to both
direct and indirect acquisition, holding that the legislative intent of Section 19 of the SRC
is to regulate activities relating to the acquisition of control of a public company.
Whatever may be the method by which control of the company is obtained, either
through the direct purchase of its stocks or through an indirect means, mandatory
tender offer applies.
The bottom line of the law is to give the shareholders of the public company the
opportunity to decide whether or not to sell their shares in connection with the transfer
of control.
The Cemco case resolves a major issue on tender offers. But there are still issues that
are of interest to the marketinvestors, issuers, investment bankers, lawyers and even
the regulators.
