I have had 2 instances that I recall where the company that I was a shareholder in got bought out.
1st company I had the share directly from the company and they sent me notice of an unconditional buyout soon followed by a check.
2nd company the shares were purchased through a discount broker so the shares were in trust and they contacted me with the details and of course addional fees for their addional paperwork.
These were my dealings and may not be anything like what you experience. If the company has a regular news outlet like a website that might help to obtain information.
