Análisis sobre la procedencia respecto a la modificación de la normativa aplicable a las Ofertas Públicas de Adquisición

Por medio de la Resolución General N° 1012/2024 de la Comisión Nacional de Valores (la “Resolución” y la “CNV” respectivamente), con fecha de entrada en vigencia el 13 de agosto de 2024, la CNV reglamentó las nuevas disposiciones relativas a la determinación del precio equitativo en las Ofertas Públicas de Adquisición, con la finalidad de salvaguardar los intereses de los accionistas frente al paso del tiempo y el valor del dinero. 

Al respecto, el precio equitativo debe expresarse, liquidarse y pagarse en la misma moneda acordada o utilizada en la toma de control, salvo que se acredite que aquello no resulta posible. 

La norma contempla que si la moneda pactada fuese distinta al dólar o al peso, el precio deberá liquidarse y pagarse en su equivalente en dólares estadounidenses o, alternativamente, en pesos utilizando el índice Dólar BYMA publicado por Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos Sociedad Anónima, o el tipo de cambio vendedor de la moneda billete pactada correspondiente al cierre de las operaciones del día hábil inmediato anterior a la fecha de liquidación del Banco de la Nación Argentina, entre ambos, el que fuese mayor. 

La Resolución registra como precedente el llamado a consulta pública dado a conocer por la Resolución General N° 1007 de la CNV mediante el cual la ciudadanía expresó sus opiniones y propuestas respecto de la adopción de la presente reglamentación.

Analysis of the appropriateness regarding the modification of the regulations applicable to Takeover Bids

By means of General Resolution No. 1012/2024 of the National Securities Commission (the “Resolution” and the “CNV”, after its Spanish acronym, respectively), effective as of August 13, 2024, the CNV regulated the new provisions regarding the determination of the equitable price in Takeover Bids, with the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the shareholders against the passage of time and the value of money.

In this regard, the equitable price must be expressed, settled and paid in the same currency agreed or used in the takeover, unless it is proven that this is not possible. 

The rule contemplates that if the agreed currency is different from the dollar or the peso, the price must be settled and paid in its equivalent in U.S. dollars or, alternatively, in pesos using the BYMA Dollar index published by Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos Sociedad Anónima, or the selling exchange rate of the agreed currency corresponding to the close of operations on the business day immediately preceding the settlement date of Banco de la Nación Argentina. Between the two, whichever is higher.

The Resolution records as a precedent the call for public consultation made public by CNV General Resolution No. 1007 through which the public expressed their opinions and proposals regarding the adoption of this regulation.
