## Definition

Service provider specializing in monitoring trading in shares and other financial instruments on behalf of a client. The aim is to identify buyers and sellers worldwide in detail (in particular: known by name), above all in order to identify undesirable takeovers as quickly as possible and thus to be able to take any countermeasures (shark repellents) at an early stage. - Shark watchers are often found as a working group in large banks. Because they are staffed and equipped with electronic resources specifically for their task, the usual radar monitoring in a company is not worthwhile in most cases - from a cost-efficiency point of view. - Meanwhile, it has been shown that raiders also repeatedly find ways and means to evade the attention of shark watchers. - See shareholder vote chase, sneak up, blitzkrieg takeover bid, suitor, mergers and acquisitions, greenmail, war chest, macaroni defense, material-adverse-change clause, pac-man strategy, knight, black, common stock, voting rights disclosure, voting rights database, takeover, hostile, takeover appeal, surprise attack, transparency policy.
