Reverse Takeover - RTO

See: Takeover.

In a confusing turn of phrase, a reverse takeover really isn't the opposite of a takeover. It's just a specific type.

In a reverse takeover, a private company merges with a public company. The end result is that the private company gets to become a public company, while avoiding the long, complicated process of running an IPO.

An evil ghost wants a corporeal body. It could make a body by magically sewing together pieces of corpses and then inhabiting the finished product. Or it could just possess the body of someone already living. That's the basic logic behind a reverse takeover.
