Generally, a &#8220;business combination&#8221; includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; is a person that, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation&#8217;s voting stock.
