Tender offer

A type of takeover bid for a company, usually made publicly.

In a tender offer, a buyer invites existing shareholders to sell their shares for a specific price, within a particular time frame. The price is usually higher than the current market price (i.e. at a premium), but often on the condition that a minimum or maximum number of shares are sold.
