1 Introduction 1.1 We conduct our businesses with unwavering integrity at all times and in all dealings. Each and every one of us must work together diligently to ensure our businesses remain wholly untainted by bribery and corruption. 1.2 This FAQ document, a central element of that effort, sets out how we can best pursue our business goals in a manner that aligns with our commitment to counter bribery and corruption. 2 What type of anti-bribery due diligence is required when making an acquisition? 2.1 The due diligence undertaken for acquisition targets is comparable to that required for agents and intermediaries. However, assessing an acquisition target generally calls for more in-depth analysis than the diligence of an agent or intermediary often does. This is because an acquiring party can be held responsible for past breaches and other wrongdoing by a target if it has not...

Strictly private and confidential The Directors [ Insert offeree’s name ] plc [ Insert offeree address ] Date: [ insert date ] STOP PRESS : Significant reforms to the UK prospectus regime came into force on 19 January 2026. Key provisions for UK public securities offers and admissions to trading primarily sit in the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 ( POATRs), SI 2024/105, with a new FCA sourcebook called The Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market ( PRM). The UK Prospectus Regulation and the FCA Prospectus Regulation Rules have now been revoked in their entirety. These reforms aim to streamline capital raising and materially cut the number of situations in which a company must produce an FCA-approved prospectus for subsequent share issues, particularly for further issues of shares. For comprehensive details on the reforms, see Practice Note: UK...

‘specimen’ dealing code This Precedent is a memorandum outlining the particulars of the ‘specimen’ dealing code. The specimen dealing code is the outcome of an industry-led development of codes, guidance and best practice prepared by The Chartered Governance Institute (formerly known as ICSA: The Governance Institute), GC100, the Quoted Companies Alliance and other market participants, who collectively agreed that it would be of considerable benefit for listed and quoted companies to be able to turn to an equivalent version of the Financial Conduct Authority’s ( FCA) Model Code. As a consequence of the implementation of the Market Abuse Regulation ( EU) No 596/2014 on 3 July 2016, the FCA deleted the Model Code. Companies with a former premium listing of equity shares were required to comply with the Model Code, which restricted persons discharging managerial...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
