This might be obvious, but are you familiar with their product and the market in which it's applicable?
I would think a software business, in which some employees won't be sticking around could be a real hornets nest if you don't REALLY know what you're doing... And when you say "some" employees, how many is that? What about the others? Of the ones that are confirmed to be leaving, who are they and what do they do? What terms are they leaving on? Do they have a non-compete? It would suck to have a group of decade long employees leaving the company you've just bought to start a competitor...
