All depends on whether they are buying the product or the company. If they are buying the product the cash does not go directly to the shareholders and the company can decide what to do with the cash, like invest in something else. If they are buying the company then they are also buying all the debt and liabilities of the company but the shareholders will be paid directly.. For an acquirer it is always cleaner simply to buy the product. Just stating the facts!
Also with unregistered securities the SEC really does not come into to play as a enforcement agency.
