All-stock deal & target's net debt

Hi,

assuming there is an all-stock deal, ie public deal and lets say it is an equity value of 20bn incl premium, and the target has 5bn in net debt, is the 5bn net debt simply added to the buyer's net debt OR is the buyer taking on debt to pay the 5bn down / refi it?

thanks
