Legal Question in Business Law in New York

My mother retired from a bank that had no pension plan. Just before she retired, the bank was acquired by a larger bank that had a defined benefit plan. She ended up getting a small pension from the new bank. Why would the new bank give her a pension?

Um ... it was probably part of the contract for the acquisition that NewBank must take care of OldBank's employees. That's not an unusual provision in M&A deals.
