I would think in any of those scenarios, keeping the share price fairly low, especially if it is a friendly buyout, is desirous. In a reverse merger, I would think a similar kind of thinking would prevail. IMO.

From Wikipedia:
In a reverse takeover, shareholders of the private company purchase control of the public shell company and then merge it with the private company. The publicly traded corporation is called a "shell" since all that exists of the original company is its organizational structure. The private company shareholders receive a substantial majority of the shares of the public company and control of its board of directors. The transaction can be accomplished within weeks. If the shell is an SEC-registered company, the private company does not go through an expensive and time-consuming review with state and federal regulators because this process was completed beforehand with the public company.
