Form SC 14D9 filings contain the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement required under Section 14(d)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14d-9 thereunder. The subject company of a tender offer, as well as certain affiliates, must file Schedule 14D-9 to disclose any solicitation or recommendation made to security holders regarding the offer. The dataset includes all Form SC 14D9 and Form SC 14D9/A filings submitted to EDGAR from January 1994 to present. Form SC 14D9/A filings represent amendments to previously filed solicitation or recommendation statements. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the subject company's identity, the board of directors' recommendation regarding the tender offer, a description of past contacts and negotiations between the parties, an analysis of the offer's fairness, and any agreements or arrangements with the bidder or its affiliates.
