friendly takeover
Consensual corporate buyout
A friendly takeover is an acquisition of one company by another that proceeds with the approval and cooperation of the target company's board of directors.
Unlike a hostile takeover, where the acquiring company bypasses resistant management, a friendly takeover involves negotiated terms acceptable to both sides: The merger began as a friendly takeover, with both boards recommending shareholder approval.
