Penalties for non-compliance: failure to meet takeover obligations can trigger forfeiture, prosecution, penalties, and registration action. Regulation 45 makes acquirers, persons acting in concert, the target company's board, intermediaries and specified advisers liable for action under the regulations and the Act for failure to meet takeover obligations; escrow sums may be forfeited. The Board may suspend or cancel intermediary registration subject to procedure, and those responsible for misstatements or concealment to shareholders are liable. Available measures include criminal prosecution, monetary penalties, regulatory directions, cease and desist orders and adjudication proceedings under the Act.
