Is it time for a spinoff?

Description

Abstract: The current market is particularly receptive to spinoff deals, but spinning off a division or subsidiary can be a tricky process, requiring finesse during negotiations and postsale integration. As a seller, it’s important to not only get a good price for the subsidiary, but also minimize any negative impact on remaining holdings. This article discusses the factors that can affect a company’s decision to do a spinoff and why it’s easier to sell a standalone subsidiary than an internal division.
