What is a Creeping Takeover?
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A) a Creeping Takeover, also known as Creeping Tender Offer, is the gradual purchase of the target company’s shares. The strategy of a creeping takeover is to gradually acquire shares of the target through the open market, with the goal of gaining a controlling interest.

I assume that this NR is to protect against this creeping takeover by Wyloo. Can anyone explain the logistics of it in simple english?
I assume the best defense is not to sell into the slowly creeping bid as Wyloo knows their bid is ridiculous.
