I just added several new properties and helper types for Company:
Previous names -- holds previous names for companies with the dates they changed
Spin offs (Spun off from) --
Companies acquired (Acquired by)
Created from merger (Merged into) -- This one is a bit more complicated. Two or more companies merge on a particular date and can (but not always) create a new company
Assets sold (Assets acquired) -- A new type "Company asset" can be transferred between companies.
New properties

I think the property "new name" on the "company name change" type should just be "name". If you're entering previous names, the idea of entering a "new name" is somewhat confusing.
-
I can't use the descriptor "name" as it is reserved. What should I use instead?
-
"Previous name" might do.
-
I would rather that each different company name be a different topic.
The company type would have 'name changed from' and 'name changed to' properties. -
Part of the idea behind topics in Freebase is that there should be only one topic for any given "thing". If a company just changes its name, it doesn't necessarily become a different entity, any more than when a person changes their name.
-
A suggestion is to add an "End date" property to the Company_name_change type.
