such transaction do not possess, whether directly or
indirectly, immediately after the consummation of such merger
or consolidation, in excess of 25% of the combined voting
power of all then-issued and outstanding stock of the merged
or consolidated person, its direct or indirect parent, or the
surviving person of such merger or consolidation; or (C) a
