2 The company may also refuse to accept an acquirer if at the company’s request the acquirer fails to declare expressly that they have acquired the shares in their own name and for their own account, that there is no agreement to take back or return the shares concerned and that they bear the economic risk associated with the shares. The company may not refuse acceptance on the grounds that the request was made by the acquirer’s bank.467
