The ship is going down. Save yourself! Think “Costa Concordia” when the captain was the first one off the ship in his own lifeboat (or his $40m golden parachute) while everyone else hung around waiting to drown (or get laid off).

They don't need to do a Verp. They need someone to keep the lights on until the deal closes and then they will just give you 1/4 of the last VERP package.
No. We’ve only had one early retirement offer that I can remember (4 years ago) and I’ve been here 20 years. But yes, I do think it’s a great idea. Make a few oldies happy. And the cost of giving them an extra full year of salary feels like it would be balanced by the savings of eliminating their fat salaries.
