For the curious 'buy out' is could be pretty much the same as merger in this case, all mergers require one company to buy out another, just it's going to be with stock in the new company, so stockholders in Telewest will be paid for their TW shares with shares from the combined company.

Depends on how the owners of the companies, those lovely lovely people who owned the bonds and own most of the shares want to play it though.
