Kamikaze Defense<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

A kamikaze defense<\/strong> is a method for deterring a potential acquirer<\/span> from purchasing a company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How it works:<\/h2>\n
\n

Kamikaze defense is named after the suicide attacks of Japanese pilots during World War II. For example, Company FGH makes a bid to buy Company STW. The\u00a0STW board of directors does not want to sell the company, but Company\u00a0FGH goes directly to the Company\u00a0STW shareholders and offers to buy their shares<\/span> for a 15% premium.<\/p>\n

Fearful that Company\u00a0FGH may be successful in its efforts, Company\u00a0STW sells its key intellectual property and randomly buys Company X35, which makes cigarettes and horsemeat. Company\u00a0FGH finds Company\u00a0STW less attractive and drops its bid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why it Matters:<\/h2>\n
\n

The kamikaze defense is near suicide in that the board has to be willing to nearly kill<\/span> the company in order to save it from acquisition<\/span>. This is very risky, and in some cases the shareholders will<\/span> oppose the effort. For this reason, the kamikaze defense is often a last resort.<\/p>\n
