Reverse Takeovers

Published: 31 December 2019

Die Beiträge des 21. M&A-Seminars, welches vom Europainstitut an der Universität Zürich (EIZ) durchgeführt wurde, stehen nun in schriftlicher Form zur Verfügung. Die Darstellungen befassen sich mit einer breiten Palette von Themen mit Bezug auf privat gehaltene Gesellschaften wie auch auf öffentliche Transaktionen. Dazu gehören die bislang nicht behandelten Themen des "Fiduciary Out bei öffentlichen und privaten M&A-Transaktionen" (Dieter Gericke) sowie "Dual Track Transaktionen" (Philippe Weber und Philipp Candreia). Astrid Waser stellt die "Entwicklungen in der Fusionskontrolle" dar. Urs Gnos beleuchtet den "Unternehmenskauf mittels Auktion" und Hans-Jakob Diem befasst sich mit dem "Reverse Takeover". Die M&A-Seminare des EIZ sind die führenden Veranstaltungen auf diesem Gebiet und unerlässliche Quelle für den Praktiker.

Switzerland's New Corporate Sustainability Framework: What to Expect

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Legislators in Switzerland and the EU are taking significant steps to simplify their respective sustainability reporting and corporate sustainability due diligence frameworks. In the EU, the Omnibus package introduced immediate deferrals of certain deadlines and proposes substantive simplifications to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) which will also impact non-EU entities, such as Swiss companies. In parallel, the Swiss government has paused domestic sustainability reforms announcing that it will publish a proposal for an indirect counterproposal to the second responsible business initiative by end of March 2026, once the direction of EU reforms becomes clearer. In early December, SIX Swiss Exchange has suspended its voluntary sustainability reporting "opt-in" regime for issuers with effect from 1 January 2026.
