Hostile Takeover

Definition:

An acquisition in which the target company’s management and board of directors oppose the transaction, either because they believe it is not in the best interests of shareholders or because they wish to maintain control of the company. Hostile takeovers often involve direct negotiations with shareholders or the launch of a tender offer to acquire shares directly from them.
