The Williams Act was passed in 1968 to ensure that public shareholders faced with a cash tender offer would not be required to respond without sufficient information. It requires the disclosure of information by any person or group acquiring more than 5% of a company's shares, as well as the disclosure of any plans or proposals the buyer may have for the company. This allows shareholders to make informed decisions about whether or not they want to sell their shares in response to a tender offer. The other options listed do not relate to this particular issue.
