M&A Retirement Plan Checklist

Recommended Posts

Working with a client who makes frequent acquisitions - I'm looking to provide a listing or checklist of items that are relevant to consider during the acquisition process - instead of creating something from scratch, I'm looking to see if anyone has or can direct me toward such a checklist - not something that's full of legal verbiage - something simple that can get topics like the following considered:

Identifying the type of plan if any in existance

Ability for participants to take distributions

Identifying loan issues - in particular abilty to rollover or continue making payments on loans

Vesting - need / option for giving vesting based on service with the acquired entity

Plan eligibility - need / option for recognizing service with the acquired entity for plan entry based on the transaction date

Termination of plan pre-transaction vs. post transactoin merger

Identifying directed investment and SDB arrangements and what having either means to participants - i.e. consider that plan with SDB going to plan without those participants may have to give up their SDB.

The more basic the better.... Thanks in advance...
