The role of shareholders in business rescue proceedings
One of the stated purposes of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) is to promote innovation and investment in South African markets and provide for the efficient rescue and recovery of financially distressed companies, in a manner that balances the rights and interests of all relevant stakeholders, including shareholders. Business rescue is therefore widely accepted as an alternative to liquidation for financially distressed companies, with the intention of giving such companies the opportunity to reorganise and restructure their affairs for them to regain their solvency. To this end, the definition of “ affected persons ” includes creditors, employees (or their representative), a registered trade union and shareholders. The role played by each “ affected person ” is unique in many ways but can have an impact on the failure or success of any business rescue proceedings.

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.
