tender offers

Acquisition purchase proposals

A tender offer is a public bid to purchase shares directly from a company's shareholders, typically at a premium above market price.

The offer bypasses the company's management, going straight to stockholders with a deadline to accept: The hostile takeover began with a tender offer at $45 per share.

Tender offers are heavily regulated to protect shareholders from coercive tactics.
