Idk, but it seems silly for someone to pay more for a pile of trash when they could pay less.  
  
 Google tells me that takeunders are a thing

If I'm remembering right, generally a company won't sell out at their current share price, so both parties in an acquisition agree on a price that they drive the price up to before the MA. Or, in hostile takeovers, the price is driven up by the acquiree buying a large market share in a short amount of time. Idk know though, I'm just an autist.
