Hostile Takeover Offer Assessment & Hostile Acquisition Bid Defense Issues

Hostile Takeover Offer Assessment & Hostile Acquisition Bid Defense Issues

Bill McGinnis has been advising on and analyzing hostile takeover offers for over 25 years. Hostile offers require immediate attention and experienced advice.

While most hostile offers are made at a premium to the recent market price of the target company's shares, that doesn't necessarily mean such an offer is in the best interest of shareholders. There are numerous factors that must be weighed in order for the Board of Directors to uphold its fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.

Generally, neither management nor the Board have much, if any, experience being on the receiving end of a hostile acquisition offer. Even if there is experience, it is imperative to consult independent advisors for legal reasons.

W. McGinnis Advisors is available to assist companies making hostile offers or those that have received such an offer. In either case, truly independent advice is invaluable.
