What is a Poison Put? Meaning.
A Poison Put in M&A and/or Corporate Finance is a provision in a
corporate bond or note that
gives its holder the option of redeeming the bond or note at its (high) par
value if certain events occur. These events may include a restructuring, the
payment of a large dividend or an unfriendly takeover.
Poison-put bonds can act as an anti-takeover mechanism because they discourage acquiring companies by raising their expenses.
They also protect the bondholder from the deterioration of credit quality and credit rating that might result from a leveraged buyout that added to the issuer’s debt.
