white squire defense

    0.07 sec.
white squire defense
An antitakeover strategy in which a takeover target places a block of its stock in the hands of an investor deemed sympathetic to management. Having a white squire decreases the possibility of a takeover because the suitor must acquire a significantly greater proportion of the remaining shares in order to complete the takeover. However, the white squire may become disenchanted and put its block of stock up for sale, or it may itself mount a takeover attempt.
