Function
-
A tender offer occurs when a person or corporation offers to purchase stocks from the shareholders of a company in an effort to gain a majority share of the corporation. In many cases, the tendered stock purchase offer is for a price that is higher than the market value of the stocks. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulates business acquisitions through tender offers.
Reorganization
-
A tender offer can lead to a reorganization if the target company is merged with the purchasing company. The structure of the target company is reorganized or the business is recapitalized under the new ownership as a result of this type of tender offer.
-
Non-Mandatory
-
A tender offer is a voluntary type of takeover, in that the shareholders can accept or reject the offer. This type of business acquisition is not subject to the approval of the corporation's board of directors and is up to the shareholders, who are the actual owners of the company.
