Luxottica bought Oakley, the whole thing, for $2.1B ($29.30/share) This is a 16.1% premium to the sale day Oakley price of $25.23.

Are they going to leave Oakley as is and not change the name?

thats like changing the name of mcdonalds if you bought it out, well maybe not on that level, but either way youd have to be retarded to do it.
