Happened all the time in the 1st dot com boom/bust. See fuckedcompany.com, history of ArsDigita, etc. Not sure if it happens anymore. Seems like companies nowadays exit quickly or never, so maybe the issue doesn't arise. If it's a fire sale I'm not sure what the company can really do - the acquirer is going to dictate the acquisition terms.
