HP Creates Poison Pill And Share Buy Back to Block Xerox
PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA—
 
 HP has implemented a shareholder rights plan or 'poison pill', that will make it more difficult for Xerox to progress with its hostile takeover bid.If any one acquires 20%, all shareholders outside the group will be able to buy additional discounted shares, diluting the ownership of the group. HP Inc. announced it will return $16 billion to shareholders, primarily through buybacks, and boost cost cuts, trying to rally investors against Xerox Holdings Corp.
 
HP has called Xerox's current bid “flawed and irresponsible”. The proposal creates a highly leveraged and irresponsible capital structure.Would result in  transfer of value from HP shareholders to Xerox shareholders. There is no overlap between Xerox and over 90% of HP’s business. HP believes a deal with Xerox would only unlock $1 billion in cost savings, not the $2 billion Xerox has promised. Xerox proposal uses HP's balance sheet strength to acquire HP , creating value for Xerox shareholders but not for HP’s.
