RE:A couple of "stupid" questions
RE:A couple of "stupid" questionsI would not call amalgamation a new dilution. Simply because when you put something to share holder's equity on the right side of the balance sheet, you also put something to assets (intangible) on the left side of the balance sheet. It is more alike a M&A or partnership deal, i.e., AH inject some assets into ATE and at the same time and then share profits latter. Or, alike convertable debt to ATE. The profit sharing right of AH was there from the beginning of the ATE and now it will be explicit rather than implicit. Regardless of amalgamation or not, ATE can not simply sell the company to Merck and then give all the money to current share holders without paying AH a penny. It is not going to happen. Never.
