Unbundling

Unbundling is a corporate reorganisation that separates parts of a business, for example through a sale, demerger or other transaction. It may allow distinct operations to pursue different strategies, improve transparency or release capital, but can also remove shared economies, create separation costs or weaken diversification. Evaluate value for the existing shareholders and other relevant parties, rather than assume that separate quoted values will simply add to more than the original value. The exact form determines ownership, proceeds and tax consequences.
