81 knight
Fina term borrowed from chess strategy to describe a company involved in the politics of a takeover bid. There are three main types of knights. A white knight is a company that is friendly to the board of the company to be acquired. If the white knight gains control, it may retain the existing board of directors. A black knight is a former white knight that has disagreed with the board of the company to be acquired and has set up its own hostile bid. A gray knight is a white knight that does not have the confidence of the company to be acquired. -
