A shareholder rights plan is an agreement between a public company and a trustee under which "rights" are created that attach to the fully-participating voting equity securities(i. e. usually the common shares) of a public company. The rights entitle shareholders, other than a shareholder who has acquired a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of the target(usually 20%), to buy newly-issued shares at a substantial discount from the trading price. 1, record 3, English, - shareholder%20rights%20plan

S'il existe divers types de pilules empoisonnées, la plus commune est sans doute le régime de droits de souscription [...] Essentiellement, le régime consiste en l'émission de droits aux actionnaires actuels de la société leur permettant d'acquérir, pour chaque action qu'ils détiennent, une nouvelle action de la cible à un prix escompté (habituellement la moitié de la valeur sur le marché). Les droits sont exercés lorsqu'un actionnaire acquiert des actions lui donnant un pourcentage d'actionnariat supérieur à celui permis dans le régime (typiquement 20%) sans obtenir l'approbation du conseil d'administration ou sans respecter les conditions de l'offre permise décrite au régime. 1, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20de%20droits%20de%20souscription
