That hasn't been my experience. I've never had the experience of BigCo only acquiring just enough for 50.1% ownership. There's also clauses in the equity plans for participation on change of control (assuming that BigCo taking 50.1% constitutes change of control)

it's a particular issue with PE, who aren't really doing it for strategic reasons, but really are just there to make money.
