A poison pill in business, is a tactic to
avoid hostile takeover by making the target
unattractive. Eg: a company may give a
certain class of shareholders the right to
have their shares redeemed at a very good
price in the event of the company being taken
over, thus involving the potential predator
in considerable extra cost.
