Initial public offering (IPO) volume and special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger activity were limited¹ in the first half of 2023. Despite muted activity, some corporates are creatively trying to slim down and unlock value by separating two or more parts of their business and listing them separately—spinning them off. We’ll discuss:

• IPO and spinoff activity and how organizations are unlocking value amid economic uncertainty
• Considerations to charter a new beginning for SpinCo and RemainCo with tax-free spinoffs
• Lessons learned on ways to prepare and execute when considering a spinoff
