In corporate law, any transaction engaged in by the parties in control of a corporation for the purpose of eliminating minority shareholders. "The use of corporate control vested in the statutory majority of shareholders or the board of directors to eliminate minority shareholders from the enterprise or to reduce to relative insignificance their voting power or claims on corporate assets. . . . Furthermore, it implies a purpose to force upon the minority shareholder a change which is not incident to any other business goal of the corporation. Although the form of such freeze-out transaction may vary and is not confined to merger or consolidation, the policy considerations are generally the same." 370 N.E. 2d 345, 353.
