Easy there, a takeover has to do with buying a majority share of stock. Neither one of these companies issues stock the last I heard. A Merge is exactly what happened. The two parties saw that their interests were aligned and set up a strategy for capitalizing on economies of scale in shipping, warehousing, customer service, the success of two very strong brands bringing revenue under the same roof, eliminating any other redundancies of operating separately and setting up for more successful future operations. I see a lot of creativity in what they have done and am very interested to see how it plays out. From all appearances it looks like Ben and Chris know each other very well and share a lot of respect. This could work out really really well for both of them.
Takeover is probably not the right word. But everything points to 3DHS not existing as a company in its own right anymore. It comes under the EF family i.e. they were bought out, and although many of the staff and aircraft may continue for now I just don't see it in the long term.
