MERGER AND ACQUISITION TERMINOLOGY PREPARED BY- NANCY SHARMA MBA 4 th Sem.

BEAR HUG It is used in takeover situations. It is an indication to the board of a target company that an offer of takeover is under consideration. A strong bear hug is a formal notice to the target company of an intended takeover. A teddy bear hug is an indication from a target company that it will favorably consider a takeover, but at a higher price than offered.

BLACK KNIGHT An unwelcome takeover bidder

BOOTSTRAP ACQUISITION This term is used in connection with a friendly takeover. When threatened with a hostile takeover, the target company exchanges some of its assets for shares held by dissident shareholders. Later on, the target company sells itself to a friendly acquirer who gets 100% of the target company for less than what it would have paid otherwise. The target company has virtually helped finance part of the takeover.

CREEPING TAKEOVER It is a slow interceptive acquisition of the controlling interest in a company by buying its shares in the stock market over a period of time.

Dawn Raid A takeover attempt by an individual or a company in which instructions are given to buy all available shares of the target company at current market price as soon as stock exchange is opened for business on a particular date. With this base the bidder makes an attractive offer to the other sharesholders in order to make a full takeover bid.

Godfather offer A takeover offer so attractive that the target company can not refuse. Usually this type of takeovers result in a change of the management team.

Golden parachute An employment contract offered to company directors and senior management which guarantees to pay extensive benefits if the executives is made to leave the company. Such contracts are offered to make unfriendly takeovers expensive

Greenmail To buy a large number of shares of a company with either of the two motives; to sell them at a higher rate to a corporate raider, or to offer them to the company for a similar profit. An offer which the management will find hard to refuse as its sale to the raider will threaten its existence.

Cont.. Some bidders for a company will acquire a large block of the target's equity and then threaten to launch a hostile tender offer for more shares unless the target purchases that block of stock at a premium. That tactic is often called "greenmail."

Grey knight A takeover bidder whose intentions are unclear. He is neither a welcome bidder known as the white knight nor clearly an unwelcome bidder, known as the black knight

Hired gun An expert who is hired by a takeover target company to fight off a predator.

Killer bees Law firms, public relations firms, and investment bankers employed by a target company to fend off unfriendly takeover.

Megabid A very large takeover bid.

Poison pill Defence strategy adopted by the target company. The company makes the takeover less attractive by such means as issuing fresh preference shares with the provision that in the event of a takeover the preference shareholders can redeem their shares at a high premium, making the cost of takeover quite unattractive.

Predator A person, a group, or a company seeking to take over another company, known as the target company.

Radar alert Close monitoring of the stock market activity in a company's shares by a shark watcher appointed by the company for that purpose. The watcher will keep stock of the buying/selling of the company's shares and determine if an accumulation is taking place. If such a thing begins to happen the company is immediately alerted so that it can take suitable defensive measures

Raider A takeover artist, who may be an individual or corporate body by buying a controlling interest of shares in a target company, runs it his way, by appointing a new management team, and formulates a new set of policies.

Safe harbour A ploy to foil a takeover bid in which the target company goes out and buys a heavily regulated business so that acquisition of such a company becomes unattractive to the sharks.

Sandbagging A defensive move in a takeover bid, in which the target company plays for time being, in the hope that a white knight will come to the rescue.

Scorched earth policy A defensive move in a takeover bid, adopted by the target company. In order to make itself unattractive as a takeover target, the company borrows money at exorbitant rates of interest. This unwise act may prevent the takeover, but often ruins the company.

Sharks Corporate raiders

Shark Repellent Any of the many measures taken by the target company to hold off hostile takeover bids: A provision that the bidder must offer the same price of shares to all shareholders, and not to just a group of those who support the takeover; A Golden Parachute contact with top executives which will make it expensive indeed to get rid of them;

Shark Repellent A provision that a more than simple majority of shareholders, say two- thirds of three-fourths, would be required to ratify a takeover vote; Merger with another company, which will make the original takeover proposal difficult

Shark watcher A specialist firm which keeps a watch on takeover activities on behalf of its client. It does so by monitoring trading patterns of its client's shares and by trying to determine the identity of parties who are buying up its client's share. A shark watcher also solicits proxies from the shareholders on behalf of its clients.

Shell company A registered company which has no significant assets or activities, often floated to collect finances for future operations, or set up as a front to evade taxes

Sleeping beauty A company which has some very attractive features, such as huge cash reserves, undervalued assets and real estate; it can be a potential target for a takeover which has not yet been propositioned by a bidder.

Summer soldiers Directors and management staff or a company threatened with a hostile takeover who only put up a token fight before giving up

Supermajority amendment A provision in the corporate charter to fend off hostile takeovers which requires a very large number of shareholders, between 67% and 90%, to approve major decisions of the company.

Tender offer In case of a clean takeover bid there may be a public offer to the stockholders of the target company to sell their shares at an attractive price to the company which intends to take over.

Toehold purchase To purchase just less than 5% shares of a company to get a toehold, so that one can by more later and notify the authorities that one now holds more than 5% shares of the company.

White knight A term used in a hostile takeover context, when a company, which can not prevent a takeover looks for a friendly rescuer who might outbid the Black Knight and acquire the company on amicable terms.

White squire Not quite a white knight, but one who buys less than a controlling interest in the company, but enough shares to prevent a hostile takeover

Proxy Contest An attempt to gain control of a firm by soliciting a sufficient number of stockholder votes to replace the current board of directors is called a proxy contest

Going-private transaction A business deal in which all publicly owned stock in a firm is replaced with complete equity ownership by a private group is called a going-private transaction

LEVERAGED BUYOUT Going-private transactions in which a large percentage of the money used to buy the outstanding stock is borrowed is called a leveraged buyout

SUPERMAJORITY AMENDMENT A change in the corporate charter making it more difficult for the firm to be acquired by increasing the percentage of shareholders that must approve a merger offer is called a supermajority amendment

STANDSTILL AGREEMENT A contract wherein the bidding firm agrees to limit its holdings in the target firm

GREENMAIL The payments made by a firm to repurchase shares of its outstanding stock from an individual investor in an attempt to eliminate a potential unfriendly takeover attempt

POISON PILLS A financial device designed to make unfriendly takeover attempts financially unappealing, if not impossible

GOLDEN PARACHUTES enerous compensation packages paid to a firm’s top management in the event of a takeover

EQUITY CARVE-OUT The sale of stock in a wholly owned subsidiary via an initial public offering

SPIN-OFF The distribution of shares in a subsidiary to existing parent company stockholders

The value of a target firm to the acquiring firm is equal to the value of the target firm as a separate entity plus the incremental value derived from the acquisition
