CEO of Tesla and Twitter
Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) on Friday adopted a restricted shareholder rights plan to protect itself from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's $43 billion cash takeover offer.
Musk made the offer in a letter to Twitter's board on Wednesday. It also came to light after Elon Musk's statement appeared in a regulatory report on Thursday.
Under the plan, aimed at resisting a bid from a potential buyer, the rights would become available if someone acquired ownership of 15% or more of Twitter's outstanding ordinary shares in a transaction not approved by the board.
However, Twitter says the plan expires on 14 April 2023.
