An action taken by a firm's majority shareholders that pressures minority holders to sell their stakes in the company. A variety of maneuvers may be considered freeze-out tactics, such as the termination of minority shareholder employees or the refusal to declare dividends. Also referred to as a "squeeze out".

These actions are often illegal and may be overturned by the courts.
