Largest premium paid on public company acquisition?

I am curious if anyone has examples on public companies that were bought out for a large % over the share price at the time of the offer.

For example, if a company’s stock is trading at $1, is there any event a company pays $20 per share to acquire all outstanding common shares? Is this industry specific? Curious on examples with the largest premiums paid and what the circumstances were around it.
