On 7 February 2001, the Takeover Panel issued a public censure in respect of Corporate Resolve plc following its lapsed cash offer for Focus Dynamics plc. At the time, Mr Couchman was Chairman and Chief Executive. The Takeover Panel noted several breaches of the Code and cited failings by its advisers and its directors, as they are ultimately responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Code, for failing to meet the Code's best business standards.

 

There are no further disclosures required pursuant to Schedule 2(g) of the AIM Rules.
