over 10%—holder can block compulsory acquisition which requires voting power
of 90% to be held;
15%—notification may be required under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers
Act if the bidder is a “foreign person”;
over 25%—can block special resolutions of the company or MIS;
50% — voting control of the target;
75%—holder can ensure special resolutions are passed;
85%—holder must give notice of substantial holding and the company must notify
shareholders that, at 90%, the person can compulsorily acquire the remaining
securities;
90%—in general, confers the ability to compulsorily acquire remaining securities
in target; and
for certain regulated industries and companies, acquisitions prohibited over
varying thresholds.
