• holding that the “continued existence” of the purchased 7 company and “the change in management and ownership are sufficient to take this case out of the 8 continuation exception”
• identifying an exception to the general rule of successor nonliability when the transaction amounts to a merger
• rejecting mere continuation theory in part because there was not “a sole corporation remaining after the sale”
• status of corporation unclear after transfer of its assets and liabilities; treated as a voluntary dissolution under C.A. § 3-410
• The mere continuity exception is designed to prevent a situation whereby “[i]n other words, the purchasing corporation maintains the same or similar management and ownership but wears a ‘new hat.’”
