for the company/institution/business not to fail
Explanation:
I don't think they are speaking about the deal in of itself, but the company/organization/business that would be created after the merger of these two institutions.

Many companies that merge do not make it afterwards. I think that's precisely what they are referring to here. Not the deal itself.

You'll want to use something like "...to make sure/ensure that the business did not close/collapse/fail", depending on the rest of your context. :) Good luck.
