Abstract

This paper studies the use of merger review as a shield to obstacle hostile tender offers of a company. Commenting on the transaction Oracle/PeopleSoft (2004) it reflects on the significance and risks of the antitrust authorities' analysis of M&A. The correct definition of the relevant market and the assessment of potential anticompetitive effects of the transactions are the crucial issues in which parties confront their positions.
