A buyout involves purchasing at least a controlling percentage of a company's stock to take over its assets and operations. It can be accomplished through negotiation or a tender offer.
A self-tender offer is a strategic financial maneuver used by companies to purchase a portion of their own stock from shareholders, often to thwart hostile takeover attempts.
A tender offer is a public proposal made to shareholders of a particular corporation to purchase a specified number of shares at a predetermined price. The offer generally contains specific conditions, such as the requirement that the offeror must obtain the total number of shares specified in the tender to proceed.
