Unreferenced date November 2008 In business, the flip in is one of the five main types of poison pill defenses against corporate takeover s. The flip in is a provision in the target company s corporate charter or bylaws. The provision gives current shareholders of a targeted company, other than the hostile acquirer Fact date March 2009 , rights to purchase additional stocks in the targeted company at a discount. These rights to purchase occur only before a potential takeover , and when the acquirer surpasses a certain threshold point of obtaining outstanding shares usually 20 50 . If the potential acquirer triggers a poison pill by accumulating more than the threshold level of shares, it risks discriminatory dilution in the target company. The threshold level therefore effectively sets a ceiling on the amount of stock that any shareholder can accumulate before launching a proxy contest. In 2004, Peoplesoft was employing the flip in model against Oracle Corporation s multi billion hostile takeover bid. Andrew Bartels, a research analyst for Forrester Research said, The poison pill is designed to make it more difficult for Oracle to take over the organization. The customer assurance program is designed to compensate customers should there be a takeover. It s a financial liability for Oracle. Oracle attempted to pursue court dissolution of this program, and in December 2004 succeeded with a final bid of approximately 10.3 billion.

The gymnast stands on the high bar, performs a back somersault flip into open air, and catches the bar again. When Korbut performed it at the 1972 Summer Olympics , it was the first backwards release move ever attempted on the uneven bars. In 1977, Soviet gymnast Elena Mukhina modified the flip by adding a full twist. The movement was later modified in the 1980s when it was performed towards the low bar that is, the gymnast s flip takes place above the bars rather than behind them. The Korbut flip is still considered to be one of the most difficult moves that can be performed on the bar. The Korbut Flip on uneven bars is no longer allowed in gymnastics competition because it involves standing on the high bar, a maneuver which is now illegal in the Code of Points artistic gymnastics Code of Points . The second move is a standing back flip to swing down, so that the person lands straddled on the beam. Performed on the balance beam . This movement has been modified many times to includes a full twist, piked or tucked legs, or to be performed in sequence with other movements.
