They were bought in 1998 and managed to keep their unique way of doing things for 20 years afterwards? Sounds like the founders negotiated a seriously good outcome.

Most acquisitions go like "nothing will change, pinky promise!" and then 6 weeks later "oh btw we're discontinuing $WHY_YOU_LOVED_US".
