Yup, that seems to be the case

From https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight
-----
8.2. Mergers and Acquisitions

ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources in the case of mergers and acquisitions upon receipt of evidence that the new entity has acquired assets that used the transferred resources from the current registrant. ARIN will maintain an up-to-date list of acceptable types of documentation.

In the event that number resources of the combined organizations are no longer justified under ARIN policy at the time ARIN becomes aware of the transaction, through a transfer request or otherwise, ARIN will work with the resource holder(s) to return, aggregate, or reclaim resources as appropriate via the processes outlined in current ARIN policy (for example, sections 4.6, 4.7, or 12 of the NRPM).

So looks like they'd need to buy all servers/routers/etc that were using the IP's also...

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
