This composite page looks in a little more detail at the types of consideration that might apply in what we call a corporate event: a “Merger” — where two companies of roughly equal negotiation power team up, or a “Tender Offer” — what British establishment types used to call a “takeover” and most people these days call a “acquisition” — where a strong company consumes a weak one, by force (a “hostile takeover”), or by polite request to stop someone else doing it (a “white knight rescue”).
