Arcane Financial Tactic

By Staff Reporters

I. DEFINITION: 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.

II. DEFINITION: A hostile takeover refers to the acquisition of one company by another corporation against the wishes of the former. The company being acquired in a hostile takeover is called the target company while the one executing the takeover is called the acquirer. In a hostile takeover, the acquirer goes directly to the company’s shareholders or fights to replace management to get the acquisition approved. Approval of a hostile takeover is generally completed through either a tender offer or a proxy fight.

According to the Washington Post, Elon Musk told potential investors for his Twitter purchase that he would thin the company’s 7,500-person workforce by 75%, leaving less than 2,000 employees to protect against security threats and solve the bot problem.

But even if the deal didn’t go through, Twitter was probably headed for layoffs. Current management said they needed to cut payroll by nearly $800 million by the end of 2023. Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is expected to close by next week.
