“Under Massachusetts law, a de facto merger does not occur absent a showing that there is a continuity of shareholders or other type of transaction that ulti-mately makes [the selling] shareholders directly or indirectly constituent owners of ... the purchasing corporation. Goguen v. Textron Inc., 476 F.Supp.2d 5 (D. Mass. 2007) (Saylor, J.). This same conclusion is obtained under the “mere continuation” exception. McCarthy, 410 Mass. at 23 , 570 N.E.2d 1008 (reaffirming that “the indices of a ‘[mere] continuation’ are, at a minimum: continuity of directors, officers, and stockholders; and the continued existence of only one corporation after the sale of assets” (emphasis added)).”
