What is takeover?

A tap takeover is when a single craft brewery gains exclusive control of a bar or restaurant's draft or draught lines. This is most often done as a promotional event but on occasion it can occur by accident. A tap takeover begins with 3 draft lines and has exceeded 25. There is currently no Guinness World Record for most beers tapped by a single brewery at an off-site location. A tap takeover ends when each keg is "kicked" or "tapped out" or "eighty-sixed" or "cashed" or "all gone". There is no telling how long a tap takeover will last but often it is too long. There is no Guinness World Record for shortest tap takeover to date.

I heard Logboat Brewing is releasing their double mocha, candied boysenberry, triple dry-hopped Quad at the Tap Takeover tonight!

Takeover - what is it?

Kevin is Jawn from the band Waterparks dog, and a lot of the Waterparks fanbase decided to set their profile picture to the same image and set their Display Names (DN's) to 'kevin'. This was known as the Kevin Takeover. The fans who participated in using the hashtag 'KevinNationArmy' did this so that other Kevins could see their tweets. This started off as unproblematic but the 'big parxies' decided to hate on them for it and cancel the kevins.

R.I.P kevin takeover.

big parxie: "This is really problematic. You're giving people anxiety and it's really annoying and childish."
kevin #1: "It's literally a dog."
kevin #2,3,4,5.. etc: "kevin."

or

twitter user 1: "whos kevin?"
kevin cult: "kevin"
twitter user 2: "it's Jawn's dog. people are using the profile picture and dn to have fun but the big parxies have a problem with that."

or

twitter user: "whats kevin takeover?"
a kevin trying to recruit new kevins: "we are going to try and take over stan twitter by using the hashtag '#KevinNationArmy'. Join us, we have cookies."

What does "takeover" mean?

(BUSINESS) in a hostile takeover, the business entity that will be the new owner. Usually a takeover vehicle is a corporation in an industry related to that of the target company.

In cases where the takeover is not NECESSARILY hostile, the term "acquisition vehicle" is used.

In recent years, the PE fund has become a common form of takeover vehicle.

When an employer secretly sells his/her business to a third-party without ever publicly acknowledging the fact to the employees of said business.

What happened to that old kvetcher, Max? He's looking all guilty and secretive... I mean, more than usual.

Haven't you heard? He subjected his art gallery to a Dutch takeover, now there's a guy he introduces to people as his new business "partner".

I sent a text to my boss that was a total iPhone Takeover. Instead of him thinking I was on my way back from picking up my daughter Syd, I told him I was on my way back from picking up an STD...

Takeover

(BUSINESS) when a corporate raider attempts to take control of a corporation against the will of the management. Takeover requires a leveraged buyout typically financed with junk bonds.

HOW IT WORKS
The corporate raider requires a takeover vehicle to launch a hostile takeover. The takeover vehicle is usually another corporation controlled by the raider, although in recent years ESOPs have been used (e.g., Tribune Corp., 2007). The vehicle buys up a lot of shares of the target company's stock on the market, then announces it wants to acquire a controlling interest.

Management opposes the takeover bid. It can (a) challenge the legality of the takeover, (b) adopt a charter that makes it hard for the takeover vehicle to run the company it's proposing to buy (a poison pill), (c) seek another buyer that is more favorable (a white knight), or (d) borrow a ton of money and buy so many shares that the stock price goes up.

The raider makes a tender offer for the shares he doesn't own. At a certain point, he may acquire sufficient control that he can legally challenge the target's management to step down.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG
The management can use (a) or (b) successfully, or it can use (e), viz., launch a hostile takeover bid of the target vehicle. The raider can lose of lot of money if a lot of shareholders have accepted his tender offer.

Prior to 1980, the hostile takeover was unknown; banks would never lend money for such a scheme. For one thing, the risks were ridiculous. For another, "success" would hurt way too many people.

Everything changed when Michael Milken revolutionized the junk bond market, allowing raiders to attempt deals that violated sound business judgment. The defeated company was compelled to pay for its own conquest.

Takeover

When during the process of calling the shotgun seat in a car, if a second party calls "blitz", the first party may then call"takeover", which enables him to use physical force to reclaim his rights to the shotgun seat.

Calling "takeover" renders any subsequent call of "wizardry' null and void.

John: "Hey guys, lets grab lunch, we'll take my car."

Mark: "Shotgun"

Ben: "Blitz!" (proceeds to sprint to the car like an annoying little kid)

Mark: "Takeover!" (Pushes Ben out of the way and gets into front passenger seat)

Frank: "Wizardry!"

Mark: "Shut up Frank, u can't use wizardry after someone calls takeover, and its a stupid rule anyway."
