	Greenmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greenmail or greenmailing is a corporate acquisition strategy for generating large amounts of money from the attempted hostile takeover of large, often undervalued or inefficient companies.
		Greenmailing is a variant of the corporate raid strategy of taking over an undervalued company, dismembering it, and selling off its valuable pieces for a profit.
		Changes in the details of corporate ownership structure, in the investment markets generally, and in Federal tax treatment of greenmail gains (a 50% excise tax) [1] have made greenmail far less common since the early 1990s.

	Greenmail (2002) (V) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		from Rochester, NY As a card-carrying member of a half-dozen or more environmental groups, I was attracted to `Greenmail's' advertised plot about the mismatched union of an activist and an ATF agent to stop an environmentalist gone over the edge into a spree of fatal bombings.
		Alas, the environmental angle is nothing more than an excuse for a very standard genre thriller where the villain blows up a lot of people.
		The one very minor plot twist is reduced to a simple throwaway line because we really don't know much about why the characters do what they do to their friends or to others.

		More simply, greenmail is payment from a corporation to a person or persons intended to induce them to abandon an attempt at a takeover of that corporation.
		Greenmail, by giving a corporation some power to control its destiny, may allow a corporation to stave off a takeover attempt that is not in the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders.
		Moreover, when the greenmail is taxable as income, section 5881 can result in nearly a 90 percent cumulative tax rate on the payments.

		Another source of pressure on the courts to quickly decide the case is the threat it poses to the future solvency of Hawaii County.
		It is precisely this arrogant and grasping attitude which is endangering the entire system of "greenmail" in Hawaii.
		The danger posed to the entire greenmail system by the legal taking of property without compensation stems from the fact that it could force a decision which would dismantle all or part of the legalized system of extortion of property owners "perfected" 10 years ago by the PASH decision.

	CA Payment to Texan's Ranger Called 'Greenmail'
		The reason, ISS says in its report, is because the incumbents unanimously supported what the firm characterized as a greenmail payment to Wyly's Ranger Governance.
		The firm was referring to a settlement in which Computer Associates, an Islandia, N.Y., software company, paid Wyly $10 million in exchange for his agreement to abandon his second proxy contest against CA, to not launch another proxy battle for five years and to extend a noncompete clause for five years.
		"The standstill provision in the settlement agreement renders the payment as a form of greenmail," ISS said in its report, referring to the 1980s practice in which companies got rid of corporate raiders by buying their shares at a premium.

		During the 1980s and even more recently, boards often bought out the stakes of investors like Icahn who were threatening a takeover fight just to get rid of them.
		But thanks to tightened board rules, a post-Sarbanes Oxley pro-shareholder sentiment, and in several cases, state laws outlawing greenmail, raiders now have to build a broad shareholder consensus to get their goals accomplished.
		Without greenmail as a weapon, activist shareholders have an even steeper hill to climb to raise a consensus.

		On the other hand, we have yet to see whether these oil company public relations campaigns are any more than what some environmentalists dismiss as "greenmail", after the predominant colour of the advertisements.
		The conservation organization WWF is increasingly finding conflicts between its objectives as a conservation organization and the effects of oil exploration and exploitation in some of the world's remotest and most sensitive areas - tropical forests, wetlands and even protected regions such as the Arctic.

	Greenmail, White Knights, and Shareholders' Interest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		Abstract: This article develops a model in which greenmail and other forms of management resistance to takeovers can benefit shareholders.
		In particular, discouraging some potential acquirers may increase shareholder wealth because it encourages others to pursue a combination with the target.
		This occurs because the number of competing acquirers is reduced and because resistance can signal that the target does not have access to a "white knight." This signalling effect may explain why share prices decline after management resists a takeover, even when such resistance is value-maximizing in the long run.
