Negotiated Share Repurchase
A practice in which a corporate raider buys a large amount of stock from another publicly-traded company and forces the latter to buy back the stock at a substantial premium in order to avoid a takeover. One refers to this buyback as the bon voyage bonus, as this enables the company to be left alone by the corporate raider. In other words, a negotiated share repurchase is an attempted hostile takeover in which the acquirer does not actually want to buy the target company. It is more commonly called greenmail. See also: Anti-greenmail provision.
