  Intensive analysis:

 

  In the case of B company, A, jointly, to C company to implement malicious mergers and acquisitions, C employs a "poison pill" reverse merger. "Poison pill" reverse acquisition effect is very obvious, became one of the most popular antitakeover measures, but its implementation is influenced by the law of the country where the environment. Such as, the United States general provisions of company law, as long as the Usa Inc in the articles of association of the company have a clear authorization, shall enjoy the right of distribution of various types of shares without approval, therefore, poison pills have a market in the United States of america. But with the common law of England was in the "company law" clearly pointed out the poison pills as a reverse merger means not legitimate.

  China's full circulation market environment changed our country shares a highly centralized, improve the information disclosure degree, reduce the purchase risk, to create the conditions for the hostile takeover, hostile takeover in China's M & A to occupy the proportion will be growing. In order to stabilize the transaction order and protect the interests of the relationship between human rights, China's current hostile takeovers take legal norms of relatively loose, the anti-takeover measures moderate strict. In the face of malicious mergers and acquisitions, target management of enterprises should proceed from the overall interests of the enterprise, according to the specific circumstances and legal requirements to develop and implement feasible reverse acquisition strategy, to reduce the damage to the rights and interests of the shareholders, to avoid improper procedure in reverse merger.
