Takeover

A Takeover is the acquisition of control of a company, typically by purchasing a majority of voting power or by completing a merger or tender offer that results in control transfer. In public-company M&A, a Takeover can be friendly or hostile, and Takeover dynamics involve governance defenses, regulatory considerations, and shareholder communications.
