Clarification on operating company after buying them out

Let's say I'm a scavenger player and buy out a scientific player. How does it work?

My assumption was that after I buy them they continue to function as scientific and get bonuses for having resources above tiles. Also if I use claims that I got from upgrading them then it would function the same way where I could put farms on top of water and not have to pay to supply water.

 

So the questions I have:

• Does it continue to function as a scientific player or does it then get treated like a scavenger where it loses all the scientific bonuses?
• If I upgrade either myself (scavenger) or the player I bought (scientific) does it matter where and how I use the claims? Like if I upgrade myself (scav) and use the claims near the scientific base would I be able to get the benefit of putting a farm on top of water? Or would the claim function like a scavenger claim and I wouldn't get the benefit.  (TLDR: Do the new scav claims always work like scavenger if you buy a scientific player)
