macaroni defense


Definition

Anti-hostile takeover technique in which a potential-target firm issues a large number of bonds with a very high discount on the redemption value provided the firm is taken over. Its name comes from the allusion that the cost of a hostile takeover expands several times, like macaroni does when cooked.
