On the latest episode of “Just Compensation,” Andrew E. Graw, Taryn E. Cannataro, and Jessica I. Kriegsfeld address single-employer defined benefit plans in the context of a business transaction, and the potential liabilities inherent in maintaining the plan post-closing as well prior to the closing— especially in light of how well funded the plan is. They discuss who bears the liability for a defined benefit plan in a transaction, and what an acquirer can do to mitigate the pension liability.
