Friendly Merger

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.03 sec.
Friendly Merger
A business combination that the management of both firms believes will be beneficial to stockholders.
Friendly Takeover
The acquisition of one company by another with the full knowledge and consent of the target company's board of directors. Generally speaking, a friendly takeover requires the approval of shareholders in addition to the board of directors, but, in this case, shareholders tend to follow the board's lead. This is because, in a friendly takeover, the acquiring company offers a premium to the current stock price for each share. See also: Hostile takeover.
