I worked with people in your situation. They had to stay on 12 months after acquistion, each made millions. The former managing director was stripped off so much power she decided to work as customer care staff instead. CTO saved all his holiday days (25 in Germany) so he can take the last month off instead of going to the office. The third found had a deal to get promoted to vice president international and more or less jet-setted from one office to the next, as far as I remember he didn't accomplish much but he switched so often people didn't notice. None stayed a day a longer than contractually required.

Can you try becoming an outside consultant to the company instead?
