A “business combination” is defined by the statute for this purpose as including, among other things, certain mergers, asset sales or the receipt by the interested stockholder of any financial benefit, and an “interested stockholder” is defined as a person who is the owner, or any person who is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the prior three years has owned, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, together with the affiliates and associates of such person. However, a corporation may opt out of these restrictions on business combinations by a provision in its certificate of incorporation or by a bylaw adopted by the stockholders expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
