Spin-offs
Spin-offs manages transactions where entities separate business units into independent entities, involving complex asset transfers, liability allocations, and share distributions. This use case addresses modeling complex spin-off transactions with multiple parties, tracking spin-off announcements, approvals, and completions over time, linking spin-offs to asset transfers and liability allocations, understanding how spin-offs affect shareholder distributions and ownership changes, linking spin-offs to regulatory approvals and filings, and reconstructing entity history through spin-off transaction chains for analysis and reporting.
The Challenge¶
Organizations face challenges in spin-off management:

- Asset allocation — Understanding how assets and liabilities are allocated in spin-offs
- Shareholder impact — Tracking how spin-offs affect shareholders and share ownership
- Regulatory requirements — Spin-offs require regulatory approvals and filings across jurisdictions
- Relationship tracking — Understanding how spin-offs affect entity relationships and structures
- Historical reconstruction — Reconstructing entity history through spin-off transactions
- Data quality — Maintaining accurate and complete spin-off transaction records
