I also agree that getting the ARIN records updated should be a cost of doing business during M&A activities; this is the sort of thing that should be able to be delegated to the finance/business officers and they should deal with whatever is necessary to preserve the assets of the organization. I find it frustrating when routing breaks that I can't find the right people to contact about it, and sadly IME it's not small companies that are the worst at this.
