No idea about this specific case, but the assumption of liabilities may or may not be involved. There are also some ethical considerations about keeping jobs in a going concern (however minimal), and some PR considerations about liquidation, etc. It wouldn't be out of order for a company with $300MM in funraising to have $15mm in misc. liabilities.
