JUST IN: Twitter's board has adopted a 'poison pill' measure that could make it harder for Elon Musk to buy the company
New York Twitter's board of directors has adopted a limited-term shareholder rights plan called a"poison pill" that could make it harder for Elon Musk to acquire the company.
The"poison pill" provision, announced in a press release Friday, preserves the right for Twitter shareholders other than Musk to acquire more shares of the company at a relatively inexpensive price, effectively diluting Musk's stake. The provision will be triggered if Musk acquires more than 15% of the company's shares. Musk currently owns around 9% of Twitter's shares.
