Don’t throw cautionaries to the wind: Navigating communication about potential affected transactions

In the context of “ affected transactions ”, which are transactions that are regulated in terms of the Takeover Regulations (see section 117(1)(c) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act)), it is well-established and understood that the publication of a “ firm intention announcement ” (FIA) in respect of an affected transaction is a watershed event. The publication of an FIA triggers the commencement of the “ offer period ” (firm offer period) in respect of an affected transaction. From this point, the applicable offeror is bound to make a firm offer to the offeree-regulated company or its shareholders, as applicable, and to see the affected transaction to completion on and subject to the salient terms and conditions set out in theFIA.

The client’s response was, “ I have someone at home. ” This answer highlights a common uncertainty about whether simply cohabiting and sharing a life qualifies as a marriage under the law. It is a distinction that carries significant consequences, as it can mean the difference between legal recognition and a relationship left in legal limbo.
