Takeover Bid
(redirected from Takeover Bids)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Takeover Bid
An offer in which an investor or company attempts to buy a publicly-traded company, or, more commonly, most of the shares in that company. For example, if Corporation A offers to buy 51% or more of Corporation B, then Corporation A is making a takeover bid. Takeover bids are made for cash, stock, or both. Likewise, they may be friendly or hostile; a friendly takeover bid occurs when the board of directors supports the acquisition and a hostile takeover bid occurs when it does not. See also: Antitakeover measure, Greenmail.
