It's important to know that acquisitions can be categorized into friendly and hostile takeovers. A friendly takeover involves prior negotiation with the management of the target company, while a unilateral and sudden announcement of an acquisition, like what St. Hospital did, is a blatant hostile takeover. However, despite being a hostile takeover, the price offered by St. Hospital tempted many shareholders of S. Drucker Hospital. Offering twenty times the market value, what does that mean? Shareholders with significant holdings could make a fortune.
