Demerger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Demerger is a form of corporate restructuring in which the an entity's business operations are segregated into one or more components.[1] It is the converse of a merger or acquisition.
A demerger can take place through a spin out by distributed or transferring the shares in a subsidiary holding the business to company shareholders carrying out the demerger. The demerger can also occur by transferring the relevant business to a new company or business to which then that company's shareholders are issued shares of.[1]
Demergers can be undertaken for various business and non-business reasons, such as government intervention, by way of anti-trust law, or through decartelization.[2]
