| 单词 | White knight |
| 释义 | 白武士 An organisation or person who comes to the rescue. In greenmail, a white knight is a third party who is asked by a company being threatened by a corporate raider to purchase the shares held by the raider, thus saving the threatened company from takeover. A white knight may thus be a potential investor (In the Matter of Akai Holdings Ltd, In the Matter of Kong Wah Holdings Ltd (HCCW 50/2000, HCCW 49/2000, unreported)), or someone who can fend off an unwelcomed takeover bid: Guinness plc v Saunders & Anor [1987] BCC 271. When there is a winding-up petition against a company, in order for the company not to be wound up, a scheme of arrangement would be required which necessitates proposal by an appropriate white knight commanding the support of the majority of creditors: Sam Woo Civil Contractors Ltd v Ho Kwok Poon & Anor (HCA 714/2004, unreported). See also Greenmail; Takeover. 提供援救的組織或個人。在綠色勒索中，救星指由受企業狙擊手威脅的公司聘請的，透過購買狙擊手所持有的股票，從而幫助受威脅公司避免遭受收購的第三方。因而，救星可能為潛在投資者（In the Matter of Akai Holdings Ltd, In the Matter of Kong Wah Holdings Ltd （高院公司清盤案件2000年第50號及2000年第49號，未經彙報）），或能夠抵禦不受歡迎的出價收購的人：Guinness plc v Saunders & Anor [1987] BCC 271。當公司遭受清盤呈請時，為使該公司免遭清盤，將需要制定債務償還安排，這亦需要適宜的救星提出建議，以尋求大多數債務人的支援：Sam Woo Civil Contractors Ltd v Ho Kwok Poon & Anor （高院民事訴訟2004年第714號，未經彙報）。另見 Greenmail; Takeover。 |
