1. Treasury - corporate finance - company law - minority shareholders - UK.
Under UK company law, the rules relating to squeeze-outs are designed to protect dissenting / minority shareholders, while balancing the interests of the company as a whole.
In a takeover, if the buyer gets 90% or more acceptances of their offer, the buyer can then compulsorily acquire the remaining shares at the same buyout price.
This is known as a "squeeze-out" of the dissenting minority (UK Companies Act 2006 - Section 979).
There is a corresponding rule in favour of the minority shareholders under UK company law, known as a "sell-out".
2. Treasury - corporate finance - company law - minority shareholders.
Similar rules in other jurisdictions, differing in their details.
