For quite some time, since 2008 in fact, Japanese developer and publisher Capcom has had a plan in effect that's been defending the company against hostile takeovers.
The details of these defences are a well kept secret but they had various strategies in place to prevent a single shareholder from gaining control over the firm by buyng a majority of its stock.
Now, however, the shareholders have decided to take down these defences, opening the company up for traditional takeovers. The reasons behind the decision in not known, but with the company open for acquisition now is the time to swoop in and secure a majority share, provided you can afford it of course (thanks, Gamasutra).
