The Edge | What Are Squeeze Outs?

Also referred to as a freeze out, a squeeze out occurs when shareholders that own a majority stake of a company wishes to gain complete control over it by buying over the shares of the minority stakeholders. If squeeze outs were to happen to joint stock companies, the stocks of the minority group can be bought over without shareholder consent. Aside from terminating minority shareholder employees, other squeeze out tactics includes refusing to declare dividends to minority holders.

In the United States, state laws govern squeeze outs. For instance, it is governed by the Delaware Code Title 8. Corporations § 253. This permits a parent organization, which owns at least 90% of the stock of a subsidiary, to merge with the latter. It can do so without seeking the consent of the minority shareholders, provided that those shareholders receive fair cash compensation. For companies in the UK, squeeze outs occur under section 979 of the Companies Act 2006.
