body: Say you have company A. They are being bought by company B, are there legal ways to permit company B to buy A but not permit B to own assets that company A had originally owned?
  
  
  Or in selling company A to B permit wholesale pundering on B part when they buy A?
  
  
  If there is no place on this website for this question please let me know.
