when a company offers stock to pay for another...they specify # of shares you'll receive for each share of the target company that you own. when you short the acquiring company you simply sell short the number of shares you'll receive...and when the deal goes through you take those shares and cover your short sell.... you don't have to short the acquiring company..it's just done to lock in a certain percentage gain..it seals what you'll get provided the deal is done
