The plan will run through June 10 next year to ensure that all shareholders get "fair and equal treatment" if there is a proposed takeover of the company, Fortrea ( FTRE ) said.
The rights plan is also intended to protect against tactics that may prevent the board from having ample time to take informed decisions that are in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, the company said.
