For those of you who can't get enough of the Google/YouTube Acqusition, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Co pumission has just published the official notice of the acquisition in what is called an 8-K Form

You can access it here:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1288776/000119312506206884/d8k.htm

According to the documentt the deal will officially close in Q4 of this year.

YouTube will contunue as the surviving corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary.

What the posting actually says is that Google will merge a newly formed company called Snowmass Holdings into YouTube, and that YouTube will then survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of Google.

Other than being a place in Colorado, I wonder what the significance of Snowmass is?

I'm sure there is a reason for this method – it's interesting to note that Picasa exists as a separate subsidiary company of Google, whereas many of the other acquisitions have simply been absorbed almost without trace into the main Google company.

As a seperate entity – the corporation negates litigation risk.. that means that "Snowmass Holdings,Inc" can only be sued so much only!!

Its a divide and manage strategy on risk management
