The shareholders, directors, and employees from both companies continue to participate and the acquiring company assumes the liabilities of the company it's taking over
- In a de facto merger, the absorbing company usually takes over all liabilities and obligations of the absorbed entity.
- Despite not being a traditional merger, the company took over another in a de facto merger by issuing shares to the other corporation.
- The stockholders, directors, and employees of the absorbed company continue to hold their positions in the acquiring corporation after a de facto merger.
