Which of the Following Statements Is False

Which of the following statements is false?

A) Canadian provincial SEC rules make it difficult for investors to buy much more than about 10% of a firm in secret. After an acquirer acquires such an initial stake in the target, called a toehold, they would have to make their intentions public by informing investors of this large stake.
B) With the availability of both the freezeout merger and the leveraged buyout as acquisition strategies, most of the value added accrues to the acquiring shareholders.
C) The laws on tender offers allow the acquiring company to freeze existing shareholders out of the gains from merging by forcing non-tendering shareholders to sell their shares for the tender offer price.
D) Premiums in LBO transactions are often quite substantial-while they can avoid the free-rider problem acquirers must still get board approval to overcome other defenses such as poison pills, as well as outbid other potential acquirers.
