Overview
With a record-setting $250.9 billion of spin-offs completed globally last year, these increasingly popular transactions accounted for 53% of corporate restructurings, excluding mergers and acquisitions, in 2015. A key benefit is the increased value that a successful spin-off can bring to both SpinCo and RemainCo shareholders. With careful planning, spin-offs have proven to be a win for shareholders amid a lackluster investing climate. This conference will explore the obvious and hidden challenges, and the keys to success.
This one-day conference, held at Bloomberg headquarters in New York City, will take a deep dive into this complex world. Representatives from companies that have undertaken spin-offs, activist investors, investment bankers, analysts and legal advisors will share their perspectives. You will learn about what’s driving the uptick in spin-offs and how the market – and the regulators – view these transactions. You’ll hear about the commercial challenges associated with executing a spin-off, and the complex array of nuts-and-bolts challenges, from financial accounting issues and tax considerations to board responsibilities, investor engagement, separation mechanics and HR sensitivities.
