Section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (âExchange Actâ) makes it unlawful for any person to make a tender offer for any class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act if, after consummation of the tender offer, such person would beneficially own more than 5% of that class of securities unless the person files a statement with the Commission containing certain information (including as prescribed by the Commission as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors). Schedule TO (17 CFR 240.14d-100) sets forth the information that a person conducting such a tender offer, as well as an issuer conducting a tender offer for its own securities under Rule 13e-4 (17 CFR 240.13e-4) must disclose in connection with that tender offer.
