恶意收购(hostile takeover)，指收购公司在未经目标公司未获通知，不管对方是否的情况下，所进行的收购活动。当事人双方采用各种攻防策略完成收购行为，并希望取得控制性股权，成为大股东。当中，双方强烈的对抗性是其基本特点。occurs when a company attempts to buy out another whether they like it or not. A hostile takeover can usually occur only through publicly traded shares, as it requires the acquirer to bypass the board of directors and purchase the shares from other sources. This is difficult unless the shares of the target company are widely available and easily purchased (i.e., they have high liquidity). A hostile takeover may presage a corporate raid.
