Split-off
A type of corporate separation, not necessarily in reorganization, whereby a parent corporation distributes to its shareholder stock in a corporation which it controls, under the same conditions as in a spin-off, except that the shareholders surrender a part of the stock in the parent corporation for the stock in the controlled corporation. As under the conditions described under spin-off, no gain is recognized to the shareholders from the exchange of their shares.
