Poison Pill

What Is a Poison Pill?

The term poison pill refers to a defense strategy used by a target firm to prevent or discourage a potential hostile takeover by an acquiring company. Potential targets use this tactic in order to make them look less attractive to the potential acquirer. Although they're not always the first—and best—way to defend a company, poison pills are generally very effective.

A poison pill is a defense tactic utilized by a target company to prevent or discourage hostile takeover attempts.
Poison pills allow existing shareholders the right to purchase additional shares at a discount, effectively diluting the ownership interest of a new, hostile party.
Poison pills often come in two forms—the flip-in and flip-over strategies.

How Poison Pills Work

Takeovers are fairly common in the business world, where one company makes an offer to assume control over another. Larger companies tend to take over smaller ones if they want to get into a new market, when there are operational benefits by combining both entities, or when the acquirer wants to eliminate the competition. Takeovers, though, aren't always harmonious and become hostile when the target doesn't entertain or want to be taken over.

When a company becomes the target of a hostile takeover, it may use the poison pill strategy to make itself less attractive to the potential acquirer. As the name indicates, a poison pill is analogous to something that's difficult to swallow or accept. A company targeted for an unwanted takeover may use a poison pill to make its shares unfavorable to the acquiring firm or individual.

Poison pills also significantly raise the cost of acquisitions and create big disincentives to deter such attempts completely.

Fun Coupon You said ...

Can someone explain this. I thought the purpose of the R/S was to decrease the amount of shares available making it more attractive to Nasdaq. But, they increased the AS. So why the reverse? All it does then is fuck us out of shares. Before anyone says it’s to increase price to get to Nasdaq,look at the print now. We would’ve got there without it.
