nbhitter22, with these VYST acquisition considerations...
Respectfully, I think you are overthinking this situation far too much. It's really fairly simple. Something very important that I think some are not seeing is that the Rotmans own both entities... VYST and Rotmans Furniture. There are a few ways they can do this as I see no massive problem as you have stated. Posting such is what helps to add confusion to shareholders and those reading this forum to think that the sky is falling when it's really not.
All they have to do is acquire Rotmans through a Share Exchange Agreement and let Rotmans exist as a wholly owned subsidiary under VYST. Companies/stocks do this all of the time. This would, in essence, let VYST act as a holding company as they could "potentially" bring in more acquisitions and operations under their umbrella of growth. You can call it a consolidation, acquisition, merger, or whatever you like, but the end results would be the same regardless. Don't let what one might call such consummation bring confusion to the deal.
Nothing is going to operationally cease to exist from how I see it. All that exist now as part of their operations will continue to exist with the addition of a few more newly existing pieces to be added to the VYST in my opinion.
