Description

Companies with multi-line businesses are broken up for many reasons, often under investor pressure to unlock value by increasing “corporate clarity” and management focus. There is a range of techniques and corporate structures used to implement such separations, including most often spin-offs and split-offs. This expert panel will explore why and when such corporate divorces are undertaken, what factors are taken into account in choosing the best way to effectuate these transactions, and how to avoid pitfalls and ensure their success with particular focus on capital markets regulatory requirements imposed on public issuers.
