On the 50+ suing statement you need to get real. Do you really think these large companies don't have it figured out. If you are offered an exit you will sign a piece of paper saying you basically waive your rights to sue. If you don't sign it you are still going to be sent out the door with less severance and benefits. Most people take the cash and have the skill set to go get another job. By the way 50 is not old, so that does not hold water either. This has happened over and over in this industry, so good luck in your legal fight while you don't have insurance or money to pay your bills. The fact you will get severance is more than most employers give outside our industry. People are let go everyday with no severance and this happens all over the world. I have been in the industry since 1980, and every company I have worked for has been sold at one point or another. It is just part of the game.
