Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options - merger, management buyout, and proxy contest - are means of changing corporate control. 
- A merger involves two companies joining to form a new company, resulting in a change in control. 
- A management buyout (MBO) is when the current management team of a company purchases a controlling stake in the company, resulting in a change in control. 
- A proxy contest is a battle for control of a company in which a group of shareholders seeks to gain enough support to replace the current board of directors with their own candidates, resulting in a change in control. Thus, all the options are legitimate ways of changing corporate control.
