The Mergers & Acquisitions Review 2012
Thursday, July 19, 2012
South Africa continued to feel the effects of a sluggish global economy, albeit on a more limited basis as compared with the rest of the world. After the financial crisis at the end of 2008, mergers and acquisitions started picking up again in the early part of 2010 and this trend continued into 2011. In the early part of 2012 fewer large deals were announced, but anecdotally, there are large deals in the pipeline that could result in announced deals when greater market confidence returns. Most recent M&A activity has been in the small to mid-cap sectors and between unlisted entities. M&A activity has also been more pronounced in cross-border deals in South Africa, inward investment into South Africa and investment from South Africa into other African jurisdictions. Many of the recent transactions (particularly in the resources sector) have involved Chinese, Indian, Japanese and US parties.

What approval rights do shareholders have over business combinations? Do shareholders have appraisal or similar rights in business combinations? A scheme of arrangement requires the approval of disinterested shareholders in the form of a special resolution (75 per cent approval of those who are entitled to vote at that meeting) passed by holders of the relevant class of shares of the target company present at the shareholders meeting convened to consider the scheme (with a 25 per cent quorum requirement). In the case of a tender offer, the approval by the target's shareholders is not required, except in the case of a partial offer for waiving the triggering of a mandatory offer (whitewash vote) or specific exemption from the provisions of the Companies Act.

South Africa continued to feel the effects of a sluggish global economy, albeit on a more limited basis as compared to the rest of the world. M&A activity started picking up in the early part of 2010 and this trend has continued in the first quarter of 2011. The uptick was more pronounced in cross-border deals in South Africa, inward investment into South Africa and general corporate restructurings. Many of the recent transactions (particularly in the resources sector) involved Chinese, Indian and Japanese parties. There were again relatively few black economic empowerment deals, which for a number of years provided great impetus to the South African M&A market.
