CVM Resolution 230 postpones the effective date of the new regulation on takeover bids to October 1, 2025
No dia 18 de junho de 2025, a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) aprovou a Resolução CVM 230, que prorrogou a entrada em vigor das Resoluções CVM 215 e 216, inicialmente previstas para 1º de julho de 2025. A Resolução CVM 215 regula as ofertas públicas de aquisição de ações (OPA) emitidas por companhias abertas, substituindo a antiga Resolução CVM 85, enquanto a Resolução CVM 216 realizou ajustes em outras regras para alinhá-las à CVM 215.
O adiamento foi motivado pela necessidade de finalizar o módulo automático de OPA do Sistema SRE, que permitirá o recebimento e registro das OPA facultativas sem permuta por valores mobiliários. Apesar da prorrogação, participantes podem solicitar dispensas ou procedimentos diferenciados para a análise de OPA, conforme o artigo 45 da Resolução CVM 85. Esse artigo permite que a CVM, em situações excepcionais e devidamente justificadas, autorize dispensas ou procedimentos próprios, respeitadas as exigências da Lei nº 6.404 de 1976 (Lei das S.A).
