So lets say you have company A and company B. Company A wants to buy company B.
Company A has 5 shares outstanding, Company B has 5 shares outstanding.
Company A wants to own/control company B. Lets say the shareholders get together and decide that company A will sell its assets and liabilities to company B for 10 shares of company B (fresh issuance).
After all this is done, Company A now owns 10 shares of Company B or 10 out of the 15 total outstanding shares (66%) and now has control of company B.
Company A technically has no assets/liabilities on its books anymore except for 10 shares of company B which give it de facto control of company B.
What would this type of deal be named? Is this ever done in the M&A world?

No that's going private or going public.
Reverse acq. Means exactly that when the party you are trying to buy buys you up because its in the best interest of shareholders, or that party is listed and you are unlisted
