A quick definition of reverse bear hug:

Term: Reverse Bear Hug

Definition: A reverse bear hug is a tactic used by a company that is being targeted for a takeover. Instead of rejecting the offer outright, the target company shows a willingness to negotiate but demands a much higher price than what was offered. This is usually done as an anti-takeover strategy to discourage the acquiring company from proceeding with the takeover.

A more thorough explanation:

A reverse bear hug is a tactic used in business when a company is being targeted for a takeover. It is a response to a bidder's offer by showing a willingness to negotiate but demanding a much higher price than that offered. This is usually done as an antitakeover tactic.

Company A wants to take over Company B. Company B responds with a reverse bear hug by saying they are willing to negotiate, but they demand a much higher price than what Company A offered. This makes it more difficult for Company A to acquire Company B.

Another example could be a company that is being targeted for a hostile takeover. The company could use a reverse bear hug by offering a price per share that is significantly higher than market value, making it difficult for the acquiring entity to continue with the takeover.

These examples illustrate how a reverse bear hug can be used as a defensive tactic to prevent a takeover or to negotiate a higher price for the company being targeted.

Tbh I downplayed myself and more mentioned as a team we did x y and z and all that cuz I didn’t wanna come off as arrogant and be like “all me” so them backing it up or expanding on how I specifically helped even more than the “here were my notable contributions to this team effort” should strengthen I think

yep
