People Pill
An antitakeover measure in which the entire management of the target company agrees and publicly states that it will resign collectively if the company is taken over. A people pill, if enacted, would make the takeover more difficult and costly for the acquiring company, and therefore intends to scare away potential hostile bidders. It is a form of a poison pill.
