Decision taken for the purpose of defending a company from possible takeover attempts, normally resulting in amendments to company statutes that establish a reinforced majority vote in order to approve a takeover operation. Measures include contracts with competitors and the purchase of companies operating in the same sector as the company attempting to takeover, therefore resulting in a monopoly situation in the event of purchase. Other more specific measures include golden parachutes, poison pills and even scorched earth techniques. Even if all company directors agree to such measures, certain minority shareholders may object, due to the fact that by avoiding a takeover they also lose the chance to sell their shares at a higher price. 2, record 1, English, - shark%2Drepellant%20measure

Toute décision prise dans le but de se défendre contre d'éventuels raiders qui tenteraient d'acheter l'entreprise ou de faire un chantage financier. Normalement on change les statuts, en exigeant l'acceptation de la prise de contrôle par une majorité qualifiée d'actionnaires. Pour se défendre d'un acquéreur particulier, on signe parfois des contrats avec des concurrents ou on achète des entreprises du même secteur que l'acquéreur, de sorte que celui-ci pourrait être accusé de monopole en cas d'achat. En plus de ces mesures générales, on peut inclure des clauses parachute pour les directeurs, des pilules empoisonnées, ou on peut même recourir à la stratégie de terre brûlée. Même si les directeurs le souhaitent, pas tous les actionnaires minoritaires approuvent ces mesures, car en évitant les raiders ils perdent également la possibilité de vendre leurs actions à un prix plus élevé. 1, record 1, French, - mesure%20anti%2Dprise%20de%20contr%C3%B4le

Cualquier decisión tomada con el objetivo de defenderse de posibles tiburones que intenten comprar la empresa o plantear un órdago. Lo normal es que se cambien los estatutos sociales, exigiendo la aprobación de la toma de control por una mayoría calificada de los accionistas. Para defenderse de un adquirente concreto, a veces se formalizan contratos con competidores o se compran empresas del mismo sector que el adquirente, con lo que éste podría ser acusado de monopolio en caso de compra. Además de estas medidas generales, se pueden incluir paracaídas para los directores, píldoras venenosas, o se puede llegar a la estrategia de tierra quemada. Aunque los directores lo deseen, no todos los accionistas minoritarios aprueban estas medidas, ya que al evitar los tiburones también evitan la posibilidad de vender sus acciones a un precio superior. 1, record 1, Spanish, - medida%20anti%2Dtibur%C3%B3n
