The value of shares matters more than number. If I have $10,000, I don't care whether each "share" I have is a $1 bill, a $5 bill, a $20 bill or $100 bill-- as long as they all add up to $10,000.

On both sides of the acquisition transaction, the hope would be that the holding of $10,000 of old stock would be worth at least that much after the deal was done. If I have $10,000 worth of PIOE, I would hope that afterward I would have $10,000 worth of "new PIOE". The holder of $10,000 worth of "target company shares" would also want at least $10,000 of "new PIOE" after the acquisition. Of course, it may not work out that way-- value could rise or fall.

If the name of the acquired company is considered an asset that should be kept, I think it would be easy to change the PIOE company name. Maybe the name of the acquired company is "Forward Energy Services" with ticker FOES (fictitious). PIOE could change its name and ticker symbol for the newly combined company to "Forward Energy Services Holdings" (FOEH), instead of "new PIOE", for example.

Always be on guard for misleading, deceptive or erroneous messages. I am not an investment professional. My messages are my opinion only, and are subject to change when contrary information is later relied upon. Always do your own research.
