Leave. Seriously. If you're contemplating it, and it's something you can do fairly easily, a lateral move, do it.

Restructurings always suck, especially those resulting from sales. They have every incentive to keep you on the line like a trout hooked, "a potential resource". Nothing they say will be binding. If they need you, they might keep you. If they don't, you went through all that trouble for a big fat goodbye.

There's nothing saying you can't come back. If you're a good employee and you leave respectfully, you can always come back. They might even need you to, and if they do, you'll get a significant salary bump.

Yeah, man, restructurings suck. You're the total fuckbag all the way through and nobody tells you anything that's true. You know this is true because HR is always a central cog to the clown show. Bleh. Shiver. Makes me itch. Went through a Koch Brothers "restructuring" once and boy was that aplenty fun to never want do that again.
