For M&A transactions involving German target companies directly or indirectly via the acquisition of a foreign group, the draft contains some good and bad news:
Future deals will be made more difficult by the fact that the catalogue of companies whose acquisition is subject to notification will be

Moreover, in addition to the acquisition of voting rights, the acquisition of
control and management rights can now, for the first time, also trigger a notification or an
ex officio review. Furthermore, the draft confirms that
share increases beyond existing stake-holdings are subject to foreign investment control, even if the thresholds were already exceeded before the transaction.
