Raiders of the company ark

Article Abstract:

Hostile acquisitions in the US typically are orchestrated through tender offers rather than proxy fights, and US corporate boards defending against hostile takeover bids must be familiar with federal and state laws. Hostile tender offers threaten the continued governance of a company by the board, thus giving rise to a conflict of interest. US corporate boards are constrained by the Business Judgement Rule, in which the directors must base their decision to accept a bid in good faith and upon an honest belief that their decision is in the best interests of a company. If the board rejects a bid, it must show reasonable grounds for believing the bid threatens corporate policy. Common defenses for companies include poison pills or rights plan, which must protect proper corporate interests and not frustrate transactions beneficial to shareholders.
