Arutyunova, K.G. Means of protection from non-friendly mergers in the USA.

Abstract: "Mergers" and "acquisitions" are considered in the United States as complex and specific legal institutions, regulated in detail by legislative regulations. The US legal doctrine defines "takeover" as one of the forms of changing "control" over the company as a result of the transfer of ownership of a large block of shares or the most liquid assets of the company and indicates the characteristic features in the presence of which "takeover" can be considered "unfriendly". To prevent "unfriendly takeovers", American companies can use general or special protection methods.
