You can only hold one visa at a time - your Tier 1 is cancelled if you are granted a Tier 2 visa.

I'd also love to know that. Don't let them do that or you'd lose your ability to work somewhere else if anything goes wrong with the company.
To answer your question yes your T1 would be cancelled
Goodluck.
