Just had this happen in my current game - Apeson was for sale for a pittance, but they also own Bellesez and Eisenwork as marques - both of which cost significantly more (100 million plus) to acquire. Apeson itself is far less - 32k.
Upon acquisition, what I am assuming was the liquid capital in the marques is transferred to me, kicking my cash up by over 200 million.
The price of subsidiary marques should be included in the purchase price of failing companies to avoid this situation. This would present the choice of buying the failing parent (and its marques) for a larger sum, or picking off the marques for a lower sum (and I assume if no one does this and they are valuable, they may be spun off if the parent dies).
Save included.
