Tender Offer

A Tender Offer is a public, open solicitation to shareholders to sell their shares at a specified price and within a specified time period, often used in public-company acquisitions or to repurchase shares. In M&A strategy, a Tender Offer can be used to bypass a resistant board or accelerate control acquisition, and Tender Offer rules trigger detailed disclosure, timing, and procedural requirements.
