Not too weird.  In one case of which I know, a whale with an
onerous government charter arranged to be swallowed by a
minnow with a much more favorable charter.  Of course the
acquiring company got the rights to the whale's trademarks
and used them.  By arrangement, the officers of the vanishing
company became officers of the merged company.  Etc.  And the
general public hardly knew.

Gulp,
gil
