print(r.json())What is SC 13E3?
Rule 13e-3 applies when a company or its affiliates take the company private, for example a management buyout, a controlling shareholder squeeze out or a reverse stock split that cashes out small holders. Because insiders sit on both sides, the filing demands extra disclosure about fairness.
Schedule 13E-3 is filed alongside the merger proxy or tender offer documents and states whether the filers believe the deal is fair to unaffiliated shareholders, and why.
The issuer and affiliates engaging in a going private transaction.
With the related proxy statement, information statement or tender offer. A final amendment reports the results.
