Abstract
This paper looks at the recommendation by the Securities Industry Council to revise the mandatory bid threshold in the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers from the present 25% to 30%. It is suggested that the price formation process in Singapore be studied and the welfare implications of such changes be considered before embarking on such revisions.
