Nate's Food Company (NHMD)

[shotsky]

Having gone through multiple mergers in the past, there is almost always a 3rd company formed, which eventually combines the assets including stock into a single company, then that 'temporary' company is disbanded. It is a company with no assets, and no shares, but is there as a holding vessel for the merger.
They are not 'basically' the same company, because one is temporary and the other will disappear.
