Under amendments to the Takeover Code with effect from 20 May 2013, pension scheme trustees will be entitled to receive certain of the offer documents as well as information on the bidder's intentions on employer contributions and funding the scheme deficit. Trustees are to be entitled to have their opinion of the effect of the bid on the pension scheme included in the target company's response to the offer.

Wedlake Bell comment: from trustees' perspective formalising scheme trustees' status in a bid situation is welcome.
