## Protecting your interests *in listed company transactions*

Securities law imposes a demanding regulatory framework that governs every transaction involving listed securities. Public offers, shareholder activism, and regulatory compliance each market move can affect a company’s reputation and requires precise anticipation of legal obligations and market practices.

We advise and represent listed companies, major shareholders, bidders, and targets in all their interactions with regulated markets. Takeover strategies, defensive measures, corporate governance, and market abuse prevention reflect our deep command of AMF regulations and procedures, which enables us to build strong, defensible positions. Every matter benefits from our detailed understanding of market dynamics and our ability to mobilize the right expertise quickly.

## *our*Interventions

0

### (01) Public Offers

Tender offers, exchange offers, and squeeze-outs, whether friendly or hostile, we represent the interests of target companies, bidders, and white knights alike. Takeover strategies, anti-takeover defenses, and post-offer disputes draw on our deep understanding of regulatory mechanisms and the approaches of market participants. From tactical preparation through final negotiation, we anticipate issues and calibrate each step to maximize your chances of success. We turn strategic objectives into tangible results.

### (02) Governance and Compliance

Listed companies face increasing regulatory demands in governance, executive compensation (say on pay), and financial and non-financial reporting. Universal registration documents, sustainability and non-financial performance statements, corporate governance reports, and threshold disclosures are all part of the documentation we prepare and structure. Shareholder relations, activism, market abuse prevention, general meeting preparation, and engagement with proxy advisors are handled with the same focus on aligning regulatory compliance with strategic performance. We secure your position on the markets.

Collective excellence

at the service of the

*highest standards.*
