Split-up

A split-up occurs where a corporation transfers its assets to two or more corporations in exchange for their stock or securities and then completely liquidates by distributing the stock in the new corporations to its stockholders or security holders in exchange for its own stock. The same nonrecognition treatment applies as in the case of a spin-off or a split-off.
