2016 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 71. Securities
§71-417. Discrimination prohibited.

No offeror shall make a multinational corporation take-over bid which is not made to all holders residing in this state of the equity security that is the subject of such multinational corporation take-over bid, or which is not made to such holders on the same terms as such multinational corporation take-over bid is made to holders of such equity security not residing in this state. If an offeror makes a tender offer or request or invitation for tenders for less than all the outstanding equity securities of a class, and if a greater number of securities is deposited pursuant thereto within ten (10) days after copies of the offer or request or invitation for tenders are first published or sent or given to security holders that such offeror is bound or willing to take up and pay for, the securities shall be taken up as nearly as may be pro rata, disregarding fractions, according to the number of securities deposited by each offeree. This section shall apply to securities deposited within ten (10) days after notice of an increase in the consideration offered to security holders, as described in this section, is first published or sent or given to security holders. If the terms of a multinational corporation take-over bid are changed before its expiration by increasing the consideration offered to offerees, the offeror shall pay the increased consideration for all equity securities taken up, whether the same are deposited or taken up before or after the change in the terms of the multinational corporation take-over bid.
