Wijziging van Boek 2 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het inroepen van een bedenktijd door het bestuur van een beursvennootschap

This Dutch bill amends Book 2 of the Civil Code, the main body of Dutch company law, to change when and how the board of a listed company (beursvennootschap) may invoke a cooling-off period (bedenktijd). Such a period gives the board time to consider a proposal, typically a takeover bid, before shareholders decide. The metadata does not state the exact changes, so this summary is based only on the title and type. The rules would mainly affect listed public limited companies in the Netherlands, their boards, and their shareholders. Investors and potential bidders could also be affected, since the timing of takeover decisions depends on these rules.
