Simplified version: If the company is sold with its debt, for cash, then the owners (shareholders) get the $. If it's sold without its debt for cash, the creditors and other note holders get paid off and any balance gets distributed. If it's sold for stock, then shareholders get X shares of the buying company's stock for each share CMTR held. In this case it will probably be a fraction for each share CMTR. There is alot of info on mergers and buyouts that can be inferred from press releases or waded through in the EDGARs.
