A tender offer is an attempt to acquire a substantial number of shares of a publicly-traded company by making a public offer directly to the shareholders. This is different from a consolidation or merger, which typically involves a more comprehensive combination of two companies, or a short-form merger, which only requires approval from the board of directors and majority shareholders. A dissolution, on the other hand, refers to the legal process of ending a company's existence.
