# The Takeovers Directive (Interim Implementation) Regulations 2006, Paragraph 5: Effect of requirement under paragraph 4


(1) The following provisions shall, subject to paragraph 6, have effect where a shareholder exercises his rights in respect of any shares under paragraph 4.
(2) The offeror shall be entitled and bound to acquire those shares on the terms of the offer or on such other terms as may be agreed.
(3) Where the terms of an offer are such as to give the holder of shares a choice of consideration the holder of the shares may indicate his choice when requiring the offeror to acquire them and the notice given to the holder under paragraph 4(8)—
(a) shall give particulars of the choice and of the rights conferred by this sub-paragraph, and
(b) may state which consideration specified in the offer is to be taken as applying in default of his indicating a choice,
and the terms of the offer mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) shall be determined accordingly.
(4) Sub-paragraph (3) applies whether or not any time-limit or other conditions applicable to the choice under the terms of the offer can still be complied with.
(5) If the consideration offered to or (as the case may be) chosen by the holder of the shares—
(a) is not cash and the offeror is no longer able to provide it, or
(b) was to have been provided by a third party who is no longer bound or able to provide it,
the consideration shall be taken to consist of an amount of cash payable by the offeror which at the date when the holder of the shares requires the offeror to acquire them is equivalent to the consideration offered or (as the case may be) chosen.
