Company A may offer to buy enough shares in Company B to gain control of it. This is called a takeover. The buyer may pay cash, offer its own shares, or use a combination of both. A friendly takeover has the support of the target company’s board. A hostile takeover goes ahead without that support, often through an offer made directly to shareholders. Buyers commonly offer more than the current share price to encourage investors to sell. The announcement can move both companies’ shares, but the deal may still fail because of shareholder opposition, financing problems, or regulatory review.
