flip-in
Noun. (business) A poison pill giving current shareholders of the targeted company the right to purchase additional stock at a discount before a potential takeover, so that the potential acquirer 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of stock that any shareholder can accumulate before launching a proxy contest.This is an unmodified, but possibly outdated, definition from Wiktionary and used here under the Creative Commons license.
