Companies are bought and sold all the time. However, the company doing the selling can never be sure what the buyer is going to do with the company afterwards. So, the only one that decided to move off shore was not the seller, it was the buyer. But, that has been the buyers MO for some time now.
The owner was sick, he needed money, he wanted to retire, his kids were morons, got a great offer, his partner wanted out, his wife was divorcing him, etc... who knows for sure. Technically, it was the buyer and only the buyer who moved the company to another country.
Don't matter much to me, my new Diamond arrives on Monday
