A quick definition of transactional takeover defense:

Transactional takeover defense is a strategy used by companies to make it harder for someone to take over their business. This can be done by making changes to the company's finances or operations, such as increasing the price of their shares or buying expensive assets. These changes are designed to discourage potential buyers and protect the company from being taken over without their consent.

A more thorough explanation:

Transactional takeover defense is a strategy used by corporations to prevent hostile takeover attempts. It involves financial or operational transactions that make it more difficult for a potential bidder to acquire the company. This can be done by raising the company's share price, paying off the bidder, or reducing their potential profit.

  • Issuing new shares of stock: By increasing the number of shares available, the company can dilute the bidder's ownership and make it more expensive for them to acquire a controlling stake.
  • Acquiring expensive assets: The company can use its cash reserves to purchase assets that are not essential to its operations but would be costly for a potential bidder to acquire.
  • Poison pill defense: This involves creating a financial instrument, such as stock options or convertible bonds, that would become very expensive for the bidder to exercise if they were to acquire a controlling stake in the company.

These examples illustrate how a company can use financial and operational transactions to make it more difficult for a potential bidder to acquire the company. By raising the cost of acquisition, the company can discourage hostile takeover attempts and maintain control over its operations.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
