A takeover occurs when an entity (acquirer) gains effective control of a listed company by acquiring a substantial portion of its shares or voting rights. Under Indian law, this triggers the acquirer’s obligation to make an open offer to remaining public shareholders under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (SAST Regulations). A spin-off is a form of corporate restructuring in which a company separates a subsidiary or division into an independent listed entity, distributing shares of the new company to existing shareholders.
