Not necessarily, it may be for $XM less debt and/or other items. Can’t simply divide buyout price by outstanding shares.

Let me answer this...

isn't the cost of the buyout expressed in what the buyer is offering to pay in the price per share?

No, as with any acquisition, a price is determined based on what the company is valued. It is the PRs that express what it means in the way of value per share. But total share count has no part to play in valuing a company.
