If you announce that you have a takeover offer in a specially called conf, and the offer does not go through then that is a sure call for shareholder's lawsuits for attempting to manipulate stock price.
Think of power of this tool, if you are coming short in your earnings, just start talks with someone about buyout (which you know are not going to materialize) then make an offer announcement before announcing bad earnings...should work very well every time, no?
