Hands in the air, who has been through a corporate bankruptcy and acquisition? If you have been through it, as I have, you understand a basic rule about the process that the acquiring company follows: figure out who the A players are and give them extra money to stick around. If the A players get unhappy and bail, the asset your just acquired will quickly go down the tubes.
Note that those people are not Lehman employees, they are now Barclays employees, and Barclays wants them to stick around.
