hello everyone hi welcome to a channel a WallStreetmojo or watch the video
[15]
till the end and also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us
[19]
by clicking the bell ican today we have a topic with us is called flip in poison
[24]
pill now we have heard about poison pill a lot of times when we talk about
[28]
mergers and acquisition probably during the hostile takeovers this word is quite
[34]
famous we'll try and see what certain here see Netflix on Monday say that it
[38]
had adopted a stockholders write plan designed to prevent activist
[43]
shareholders from launching in hostile takeover see whenever you talk about
[46]
this kind of terms in Oh hits it's really Verity now what exactly this
[52]
is all about first what does this flippin poison pill exactly mean well
[60]
there are 5 types of poison pills available for the companies which act as
[65]
a defense strategy for the company now flip pin is one of this 5 poison pills
[70]
this is you know these sort of you can say the defense strategy it is a
[77]
different strategy where existing shareholders of the company are allowed
[80]
to purchase more shares in the target company at a discount so the target
[85]
company uses the Flip in strategy to keep the pay hostile takeover diluting
[91]
the value of the company with increased available shares so this leads to the
[94]
reduction of the percentage of the ownership of the potential acquiring
[101]
company so only existing shareholders are allowed to purchase the shares and
[105]
not the acquiring shareholders let's break down this term into more detail
[111]
format see the flip in strategy the provision that is mentioned in the
[115]
company's by loss so whenever a shareholders acquires a certain number
[119]
of shares generally closely around let's say 20 to 50%
[124]
then the flip in poison pill is triggered into the action and if we
[128]
consider the shareholders point of view of flip in helps in making quick money
[132]
because the new shares are purchased at the discount right and for the
[139]
shareholders this difference between the market price of the shares and it's
[147]
discounted purchase price is considered to be the profit now many experts give
[152]
the logic that when the board of companies implements the flip in
[157]
strategy it lessens the number of the potential offers when helped in the
[161]
production of the own position because in the case of the company takes over
[165]
then the position of the board is unstable condition right so in order to
[173]
secure this position keep it stable the boards of the company may prevent
[181]
acquisition by implementing this poison pill but in the end this strategy is bad
[186]
for the company and its shareholders too so the provision for flip in poison
[193]
pill can be found in the company's by laws or charter which says that you
[197]
know they can use it as takeover defense know the companies they called it as a
[204]
takeover defense now the companies who wants to fight this strategy can up for
[209]
dissolving this in the code by giving them deep discount but there is
[214]
uncertainty about the chance of the success so the right to purchase happens
[219]
only before the potential takeover and when the acquirer
[226]
crosses a certain threshold point of obtaining the outstanding shares now
[233]
when the potential acquirer starts a poison pill by gathering more than the
[236]
threshold level of the shares then its risks the discriminated dilution in the
[241]
target company this threshold develop a certain ceiling on the amount of the
[246]
shock and any shareholder can gather before being required to start a proxy
[250]
contend tor will take an example over here to
[256]
understand let's discuss an example of flip in poison pill see in the year 2004
[261]
the People Soft was employed the model against the Oracle's a multi-billionaire
[270]
take bid then the flip in poison pill was immediately put into action the
[275]
flip in poison pill that was implemented was designed in such a manner so as to
[280]
make the take off or Oracle very difficult so the customer insurance
[287]
program which was there was designed to compensate the customers and the
[292]
takeover happened so this became financial liability right and for the
[298]
Oracle as for the and rebuttals are in such analysts like Forester Research
[302]
had had seen this and Oracle tried to opt for the quote resolution for this
[308]
case and finally it succeeded in December 2004 when it made a final bid
[314]
of approximately $10.3 billion
[321]
now we'll try and understand what is the difference between flip in Poisson
[327]
versus the flip over poison pill see writes plan include both flip in and
[335]
flip over feature the flip in poison pill is a strategy which the target
[339]
company uses for making it difficult for acquirer
[344]
company to gain control over the company so this strategy is mentioned as the
[348]
provision in the takeover candidates bylaws and that allows the existing
[354]
shareholders of the target company and it excluding the acquirers right to
[358]
purchase the additional shares of the target company but at a discounted price
[361]
though the flip in poison pill strategies purely defense tactic which
[368]
dilutes the share price of the targeted company and also the percentage of the
[372]
ownership so the acquirer may already have on the contrary the flip over is a
[378]
strategy that gives the existing shoulders of the target company these
[382]
rights
[385]
purchase shares of the acquiring company at a discounted price so it is
[391]
implemented to protect against the second step transaction and this
[396]
strategy it comes into play after the rights have been triggered and the
[401]
target was sold or engaged in some other change in the control transaction this
[406]
circumtances each right then outstanding will flip over and become a
[412]
right to buy right to it becomes right to buy shares of the
[420]
red our common stock with the market value equal to thee twice the exercise
[427]
price of the right so the provision for this strategy must be included in the
[432]
bylaws of the acquiring company and the implementation of this rights comes into
[437]
play only when the takeover bid arises the flip power poison pill gives an
[444]
encouragement to the existing shoulders of the target company to purchase the
[447]
shares of the acquiring company so as to dilute its shares that has been diluted
[454]
the share price so in contrast to the flippant provision which dilutes the
[458]
buyers interest in the target comp the flip over provision creates a delusion
[462]
in the interest of the buyers shareholder you know in the buyers
[465]
itself fifth my final thoughts on this
[471]
particular thing when the flip in poison pill provision debtors the buyer from you
[476]
know crossing the ownership threshold that eventually triggers the right plan
[482]
for confronting it with the prospect of the substantial delusion in every holder
[488]
except the buyer is allowed to purchase the new shares at 50% discount er to the
[495]
current market and the buyers ownership interest gets diluted if the flip in
[501]
strategy
[505]
of the rights plan is implemented and the actual amount of the dilution is
[509]
dependent on the exercise price of the rights but it is quite substantial
[513]
enough to make triggering the rights economically unviable after discussing
[520]
all of this I think you must have got a fantastic idea regarding the flip in
[524]
poison pill concept we did it the meaning part we had a breakdown this
[530]
into different format we discussed the bylaws part we also discussed the
[534]
numericals the numbers discussed the Oracle example of flip in poison pill
[541]
the difference is between the in and over so that's it for this particular
