It isn't, though. Any deal has to make sense for everyone who has to agree to it.
E.g. my last time around-- there was a deal that would have paid back investors and even paid a little to employees... but the acquirer would have required key technical staff to stick around.
The only way that deal would have gotten done would be if it was possible to carve out enough funds for those key technical staff. (It wasn't, so instead it was an asset sale that did not pay back investors).
