Actually, it would be correct to say NeXT acquired Apple for minus USD 424M and renamed itself Apple.

Agreed. Regardless of who acquired who on paper, the NeXT acquisition catapulted Apple from being just an interesting entry in history books (like Gulf Oil) to one of the writers of history (like Standard Oil).
