What is a hostile takeover in an LLC setting? It is when the majority directors of a company gang up against a director and vote them out of the board of directors, and then appoint another director in his place.
Hostile takeovers usually happen where a director is proved to be operating against the good of the company.
Since all company decisions are vote based, the majority rule applies and board resolutions are upheld by shareholders provided they align with shareholders' will.
This is how even a majority shareholder who is also a director can be edged out of the core decision making functions of a company they have invested in.
