LOTUS DEVELOPMENT ADOPTS A COMPLEX POISON PILL

By CBR Staff Writer

These days, when you adopt an anti-takeover measure, it is little more than a signal to the host of corporate raiders on Wall Street – whose funds seem to outvalue the available targets by a wide margin – that you are vulnerable to a bid, and ready to go at the right price – so has management at embattled Lotus Development Corp had enough?
