“Foreign Acquisitions in Australia – The Chinese and Singaporean Experience”
Foreign investment is an important component of national economic development. Most countries, including Australia, regulate foreign acquisitions and takeovers in order to balance the necessary foreign investment with national security concerns and the national interest.
Jeff Hall, a Visiting Fellow at the MAFC and principal lecturer for the Mergers & Acquisitions course, will present a talk on “Foreign Acquisitions in Australia – The Chinese and Singaporean Experience”. This talk will look at the key components of Australia’s Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act and the Foreign Investment Guidelines that are applied by the Australian Government in making decisions pursuant to the Act, including special provisions that are applicable to foreign sovereign wealth funds (such as Temasek Holdings) and foreign companies with significant Government ownership or control (such as SingTel or Chinalco). The general provisions that apply to all foreign corporations will also be discussed with particular emphasis on decisions involving acquisitions made or attempted to be made by Chinese and Singaporean companies (such as the acquisition of OZ Minerals by China Minmetals).
Admission is free of charge, however registration is required. Limited seats are available.
