What's your Golden Handcuffs story (Acquisition - Retention Bonus)?

Details on the acquisition pertaining to if and how the buyer retained employees. What were the cash and stock bonuses awarded. And did you stay?

Last December, Altria paid 12.8 billion for a 35% stake in JUUL. Every employee got 1) a one time bonus of #vested shares * $150 2) annual target bonus * 4, to be distributed over 2 years 3) 54% increase in unvested stock It minted maybe 30 or so new millionaires out of the company’s 1500 employees at the time
