There's one thing I would add to the equation:

((1-p) * s * e) + r < (m-c)*t

r is the additonal compensation package that companies offer to employees of an acquired company.

In an acquihire, the bulk of the proceeds go to the employees, and it's not in the form of equity payments (which are usually not worth the paper they're written on). Instead, companies offer employees other incentives to come on board.
