Faron Pharmaceuticals - Innovative medical solutions (Part 2)

I’ve also been considering this. In practice, it’s likely quite easy for BP to gain control (over 50%) of Faron by making a €3 offer like that, but I don’t believe they would be able to buy the entire company. They need 90% of the shares to trigger a squeeze-out of the rest, and I don’t think they would succeed in that. And I believe BP understands this as well, which is why they won’t attempt it. They likely don’t want to own just a portion of Faron. They want to merge Faron into themselves, under their own management.

I don’t believe in a full takeover of the company either, but more than 50% or enough to get voting rights at the general meeting and their own people on the board to steer the company in the direction they want.
