retention bonus
If you have an employment contract with the existing (not the proposed and never incorporated new company) then your rights are largely governed by the terms of that employment contract. Whether you are entitled to a retention bonus depends on the terms under which the company has agreed to give the retention bonus and whether there are other reasons that they have excluded you (e.g., race, age, disability). In order to answer the question definitively, you should have a lawyer look at your employment contract and the retention bonus plan, and talk to about the circumstances surrounding the closure of the company.
