Non-compete clauses are normal in many companies, especially in tech. They are usually in the original contract of the employees though, and those cannot be, normally, amended just because they company is being acquired. Nonetheless, if the new companies is worried these employees could end up with the competition, it can incentivize them to stay or possibly offer them packages in return for not joining the competition for some years.
