- Takeover bids and share exchange offers »
- legal acquisition processes of listed companies. A takeover bid is a cash-paid buyback of the shares in circulation, whereas in a share exchange offer shareholders get shares of the buyer company in exchange for their shares of the target company. The target company can agree to the offer or not, in which case the bid is called an “unsolicited tender offer”.
