Masterclass
Practice Drills: Structuring a Hostile Takeover Defense Response Plan
A hands-on drill course for CFOs, corporate development heads, founders of listed and pre-IPO companies, and senior strategy leaders. You work through a live scenario: an unsolicited bid crosses the SEBI Takeover Code trigger on a listed Indian mid-cap. Drill by drill, you map the shareholder register and vote math, stand up a defense committee, handle disclosure under LODR and the insider trading rules, build a standalone value case against the offer price, test which defense levers actually work under Indian law, write the independent directors' recommendation, and assemble a one-page response plan and decision tree.
