Lockup Option

An antitakeover measure in which a target company offers stock options to a white knight to purchase a great deal of equity in the company at a price that would be disadvantageous to a potential acquiring company. This is designed to encourage the potential acquiring company to abandon a hostile takeover attempt. It is also called a lock-up defense.
