Post-offer undertaking

A statement made by a party to an offer in any document, announcement or other information published by it in relation to the offer relating to any particular course of action that the party commits to take, or not take, after the end of the offer period and which is described by that party as a post-offer undertaking.

NOTE ON POST-OFFER UNDERTAKING

A commitment relating to action to be taken, or not taken, after the end of the offer period made directly to, and enforceable by, one or more identified parties (whether by name or as a member of an identified class of persons), including an undertaking given to a government or governmental agency in order to obtain an official authorisation or regulatory clearance, will not be regarded as a post-offer undertaking.
