All records of a franchise are dropped when it is acquired by a new company, except for:

• The San Miguel/Royal franchise: When the San Miguel/Royal franchise took a leave of absence in 1986, the Alaska Milk franchise didn't acquire the former's records. And when San Miguel returned in 1987, it assumed the records of the original San Miguel franchise. The same was done for the Tanduay franchise.
• The Talk 'N Text franchise: When Pilipino Telephone Corporation (PilTel) acquired the Pepsi Hotshots franchise in 1996, the team was renamed as the Mobiline Cellulars. The team lineage of the old Pepsi franchise was retained by new owners.
• The Purefoods/B-Meg franchise: When Ayala Corporation sold its Purefoods unit to San Miguel Corporation, the records of the Ayala-owned team were carried over to the San Miguel-owned team. The Purefoods name was used by the SMC group until 2009, when the team was renamed as the B-Meg Llamados, a poultry feed product.
• The Coca-Cola/Powerade franchise: After the San Miguel Corporation sold its majority share of the Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines back to the Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Company in 2006, the franchise was retained by the new owners. The Coca-Cola name was used until 2010. The team was renamed as the Powerade Tigers starting the 2010-11 season.

Records of former franchises can be adopted by the new owners:

• The Tanduay francise: originally owned by the Elizalde Group is one of the founding teams of the league. The team was disbanded in 1987 and the PBA franchise was sold to Purefoods. When Tanduay, now owned by Lucio Tan, entered the league again in 1999, the lineage of the Elizalde Group-owned team from 1975 to 1987 were retained.
