Black Knight
(redirected from Black Knights)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Black Knight
A company that is offering or executing a hostile takeover. If a firm makes an offer to shareholders to acquire a publicly-traded company after the board of directors refuses, or if it bypasses the board completely, one refers to the acquiring firm as a black knight. This is a derogatory term, and so one might expect the board, management, or even employees to use it more than shareholders.
