A hostile takeover occurs when an acquiring company attempts to take control of a target company against the wishes of the target's management and board. This often involves strategies like a tender offer directly to shareholders or a proxy fight to replace the board with one that will approve the acquisition.
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are strategic business activities where companies consolidate through various types of financial transactions, with the goal of achieving synergies, expanding market reach, or acquiring new technologies and capabilities. Successful M&A transactions require thorough due diligence, cultural integration, and strategic alignment to realize the anticipated benefits and value creation.
A tender offer is a public, open bid by an investor to purchase a significant number of shares from shareholders of a corporation, usually at a premium over the current market price, in order to gain control of the company or influence its management. This strategy is often used in mergers and acquisitions and can be either friendly or hostile, depending on whether the company's management supports the offer.
Shareholder rights refer to the entitlements and protections afforded to individuals or entities that own shares in a corporation, enabling them to participate in key corporate decisions and safeguarding their investments.
