Merger bug

[counting]

After merger, my company's stock price drop to $0.1 per share, and immediately auto-reverse-split. Either merger with paying cash or issuing share has the same result. And a large portion of my share held by one of the stock-focused AI just vanished and revert back to public share.

The price is not reset, but my shares held by one of the stocked focused AI 'Radial Fleur' still disappeared regardless merger methods. It has something to do with I own some of its shares, I tested it again, and if I sell 'Radial Fleur' 9.16% shares my company owned before the merger, 'Radial Fleur' will keep my shares, instead of being forced to sell. Since I don't own its share more than 50% just 9.16%, why would it be forced to sell my shares, this doesn't violet the subsidiaries can't buy parent corporation shares rule? Because of the trouble calculating exact value of stock assets during merger process? (I owned you, you owned me, infinite loop)

Nested stock holdings are automatically sold to the market during a merger.

Interesting, never notice this before. So it is something with nested stock holdings. I admit it's sometimes a challenging accounting task to perform, and many methods can be used. I see the point of making the calculation easy by selling at market price to reset their independent value. (However, this kind of automatic "restructure" could lead to some "interesting strategies" using stock market).
