Well said. Actually, stock delisting after merger/acquisition is a common occurrence, and there are a couple of reasons why it happens. One reason is because the company that bought your company may not have wanted to keep your stock as part of its portfolio. In this case, if you owned shares of the original company before it was acquired, those shares will be converted into shares of the new company.

Another reason could be that one company paid cash for another company's stock while also agreeing to buy back any outstanding stock at some point in the future. This way, they can avoid paying taxes on any gains they may have made from selling off the acquired company's assets (like property or equipment).

Another reason is because one company took over another and decided to dissolve it entirely instead of keeping it going under its own name or management structure. If this happened before you had time to convert your shares over into shares in another company, then those stocks would no longer exist once all their assets were liquidated by whoever was left owning them after everything was sold off for cash--which might mean your money went down with them if you didn't know what was happening until after the fact!
