Investopedia explains 'Bon Voyage Bonus'
Paying a bon voyage bonus to a greenmailer is one of several tactics that a target company can employ to fend off a takeover, though it can be very costly. In order to cease a takeover bid, a corporate raider will most likely demand a premium over the current share price. Some companies may include an anti-greenmail provision in their charters, so as to prevent this sort of situation from arising.
