## Definition

The one-time distribution of a larger amount of money to shareholders outside the regular dividend payment. - Such payments by a company have also become known, especially in connection with hostile takeovers. A company empties its coffers in this way and, under certain circumstances, also becomes indebted to the banks for a long time in order to lose attractiveness for the bidder but, on the other hand, to bind the shareholders to the company. - See decapitalization, bonus share, Pac-Man strategy, transaction bonus.
