This is done to ensure that the bankrupt corporation does not have to settle for unacceptably low prices for its assets. 2. More generally, a "trial balloon" in which a third party approaches a person or company inquiring about the possibility of a (usually hostile) takeover. The party actually asking about the takeover remains anonymous so as to protect its reputational risk in case the idea does not meet with favor. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
