Abstract

The paper aims to show the evolution of Tender Offers (Offerte Pubbliche di Acquisto – OPA) in Italy for their role played in the efficient allocation of corporate control and the capital market’s integrity. In fact, the analysis of the national regulation regarding OPAs reveals the constant attempt of our legislator to balance the contendibility of corporate control and the need to ensure the equal treatment of all target’s shareholders, for sure one of the key principles of this regulation. Rationalising the sequence of the many regulatory interventions, as well as tracing the trends of Italian OPAs in terms of number, turnover, and prices may be an excercise useful for scholars and professionals.
