get_tender_offers
Returns SEC Schedule TO filings — public tender offer disclosures. Use this when the user asks about: who's bidding to acquire company X, what M&A offers are in flight, share buyback announcements, amendments to existing tender offers (price increases / extensions), or to pair with 13D activist stakes for the 'stake → bid' story. Source: SEC EDGAR full-text search. Forms covered: SC TO-T (third- party tender offer — someone outside the company bidding for shares), SC TO-T/A (amendments), SC TO-I (issuer tender offer — company buying back its own shares), SC TO-I/A (issuer amendments). v1 returns filing metadata only — bidder + target + form type + filing date + URL. Offer price, shares sought, and expiration date live inside the HTML attachment at primary_document_url; agents follow that URL to read the substantive terms. Amendment filings share the same target/bidder/file_number as the original offer; use file_number to group an amendment chain. Pure-publisher posture: KeyVex does not derive 'likely to close' or 'expected premium' signals. The data here is what was filed, no more.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum filings to return. Default 50, max 500. | |
| since | No | Filing date lower bound (ISO YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). | |
| until | No | Filing date upper bound (ISO YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). | |
| form_type | No | Exact form match. Useful for narrowing to amendments only ('SC TO-T/A') or original offers only ('SC TO-T'). | |
| bidder_cik | No | Bidder's SEC CIK. Find all tender offers by a particular acquirer. | |
| sort_order | No | Default: desc (most recent filings first). | |
| target_cik | No | Target's SEC CIK (10-digit zero-padded). Use when ticker is ambiguous (multiple share classes). | |
| bidder_name | No | Case-insensitive substring against bidder_name. Bidders in SC TO-T are often private SPVs ('2025 Acquisition Company, LLC') — use this to find them by issuer / parent name. | |
| issuer_only | No | When true, restricts to SC TO-I family (issuer buybacks). Default false. | |
| target_name | No | Case-insensitive substring against target_name. Useful when ticker isn't known (e.g., private companies in TO-T filings). | |
| target_ticker | No | Target company ticker (e.g., 'KZR'). For SC TO-T this is the company being bid for; for SC TO-I this is the company buying back its own shares (target == bidder). | |
| accession_number | No | EDGAR accession number (e.g., '0001140361-26-020397'). Direct doc lookup, fastest path. | |
| third_party_only | No | When true, restricts to SC TO-T family (third-party offers). Default false. | |
| exclude_amendments | No | When true, drops /A amendment filings. Default false (amendments included). |
