• CROWN JEWELS
  
  In some countries a company calls its precious assets as crown jewels to depict the greed of the acquirer under the takeover bid. These precious assets attract the raider to bid for the company’s control. The company sells these assets at its own initiative leaving the rest of the company intact. (Instead of selling the assets, the company may also lease them or mortgage them so that the attraction of free assets to the predator is suppressed.)
