I'm confused by all the outrage here (not just by you Mizzou). Isn't this a pretty standard takeover defense? Companies structure contracts and bonuses to coincide with takeover offers. This both protects the highest levels of management and it devalues the company such that the takeover becomes much more costly. I would think that most public companies would have these measures in place.
